Manages your WordPress database.
Allows you to optimize database, repair database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database , drop/empty tables and run selected queries. Supports automatic scheduling of backing up, optimizing and repairing of database.
- Activate
WP-DBManagerPlugin - The script will automatically create a folder called
backup-dbin the wp-content folder if that folder is writable. If it is not created, please create the folder and ensure that the folder is writable - Open
Folder: wp-content/backup-db - If you are on Apache, move the
htaccess.txtfile fromFolder: wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanagertoFolder: wp-content/backup-db/.htaccessif it is not there already - If you are on IIS, move the
Web.config.txtfile fromFolder: wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanagertoFolder: wp-content/backup-db/Web.configif it is not there already - Move
index.phpfile fromFolder: wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanagertoFolder: wp-content/backup-db/index.phpif it is not there already - Go to
WP-Admin -> Database -> DB Optionsto configure the database options
- I spent most of my free time creating, updating, maintaining and supporting these plugins, if you really love my plugins and could spare me a couple of bucks, I will really appreciate it. If not feel free to use it without any obligations.
- Note that this plugin passes your datababase password via --password in the command line of mysqldump. This is convenient but as a trade off, it is insecure.
- On some systems, your password becomes visible to system status programs such as ps that may be invoked by other users to display command lines. MySQL clients typically overwrite the command-line password argument with zeros during their initialization sequence. However, there is still a brief interval during which the value is visible. Also, on some systems this overwriting strategy is ineffective and the password remains visible to ps. Source: End-User Guidelines for Password Security
- If this is a concern to you, I recommend another database backup plugin called WP-DB-Backup

- Ensure that your host allows you to access mysqldump. You can try to narrow the problem by Debugging via SSH:
- In
wp-dbmanager.php - Find
check_backup_files();on line 246 - Add below it
echo $command; - Go to
WP-Admin -> Database -> Backup - Click
Backup - It should print some debugging statements
- Copy that line than run it in SSH
- If you need help on SSH contact your host or google for more info
- WP-DBManager uses
mysqldumpapplication to generate the backup andmysqlapplication to restore them via shell. - WP-DB-Backup uses PHP to generate the backup. In some cases WP-DB-Backup will work better for you because it requires less permissions. Not all host allows you to access mysqldump/mysql directly via shell.
- WP-DBManager allows you to have automatic optimizing and repairing of database on top of backing up of database.
- Ensure that you have renamed
htaccess.txtto.htaccessand placed it in your backup folder (defaults towp-content/backup-db/) - If you are 100% sure you have did that and have verfied that the folder no longer is accessible to the public by visiting the URL
http://yousite.com/wp-content/backup-db/, you can safely disable the notice by going toWP-Admin -> Database -> DB Optionsand setHide Admin NoticestoYes.
