  • Refining for microblog

    I’ve recently revamped the website to embrace a more microblog-centric design compared to its previous layout. The navigation has been streamlined to three essential sections: ‘About,’ ‘Blog,’ and ‘Contact.’ The primary aim of this blog is to serve as the main channel for sharing my public thoughts and notes on topics I’m passionate about. While I maintain a presence on a few social media platforms, I don’t use them for content sharing. Instead, all my content is published here.

  • Collateral

    I finally got to watch the movie, Collateral, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. When describing the film to my son, however, I told him it was like playing a campaign on GTA V.

  • How-to Backup a WordPress Website Using WP-CLI

    Backing up a WordPress website using WP-CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface) involves several steps. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:

    1. Install WP-CLI

    If you haven’t already installed WP-CLI, you’ll need to do so. You can find the installation instructions on the WP-CLI’s official website.

    2. Access Your Server

    You’ll need SSH access to your server. Once you’ve logged in, navigate to the root directory of your WordPress installation.

    3. Backup the Database

    To backup your WordPress database, use the following WP-CLI command:

    wp db export

    This command will create a .sql file in your WordPress directory. This file contains all of your WordPress database information.

    4. Backup WordPress Files

    You also need to backup your WordPress files, including themes, plugins, and uploads. To do this, you can use a command like rsync or tar. For example:

    tar -czvf yoursite_backup.tar.gz /path/to/your/wordpress/directory

    This command will create a compressed archive of your WordPress directory.

    5. Download the Backup

    After creating the backup files on your server, you’ll need to download them to a safe location. You can use an FTP client or a command like scp for this purpose.

    6. Automating the Process

    Optionally, you can write a script to automate the backup process and schedule it to run regularly using a cron job.

    Important Tips

    • Test Your Backup: Always test your backups to ensure they work as expected.
    • Secure Your Backup: Keep your backup files in a secure location to prevent unauthorized access.
    • Regular Backups: Schedule regular backups to minimize the risk of data loss.

    Remember, while WP-CLI is a powerful tool, you should be comfortable with command-line interfaces and have the necessary permissions on your hosting server to perform these actions.
