1. Check If Your Website Files Still Exist
š¹ Go to File Manager ā /home/mtitbd.com/public_html/
š¹ Make sure these folders exist:
/wp-content/
/wp-includes/
/wp-admin/
ā
If wp-content exists, your theme and Elementor design are safe.
2. Download a Fresh WordPress Copy
ā
Go to https://wordpress.org/download/
ā
Download the ZIP file
3. Upload & Extract WordPress (Without wp-content)
1ļøā£ Go to File Manager ā /public_html/
2ļøā£ Upload wordpress.zip
3ļøā£ Extract it (it will create a wordpress/ folder).
4ļøā£ Move everything inside the wordpress/ folder to /public_html/
5ļøā£ Delete these folders from the uploaded files:
wp-content/
(This keeps your theme and Elementor safe.)
4. Restore wp-config.php
1ļøā£ If wp-config.php is missing, rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
2ļøā£ Edit wp-config.php and enter your database details:
define('DB_NAME', 'your_database_name');
define('DB_USER', 'your_database_user');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
3ļøā£ Save the file.
5. Check Your Website
š¹ Go to https://yourdomain.com
š¹ Your theme & Elementor design should be untouched.
š¹ If you see any issues, update your theme & plugins from WordPress admin.
If your website is showing a 404 error after copying wp-content, it likely means:
- Missing or incorrect
.htaccessfile - Permalinks need to be reset
- File permissions are incorrect
š Now Fix for 404 Error
6. Check & Restore .htaccess File
1ļøā£ Go toĀ File Manager ā /home/mtitbd.com/public_html/
2ļøā£ Look for .htaccess
- If itās missing, create a new one.
- If it exists, rename it to
.htaccess_old.
3ļøā£ Create a new.htaccessfile and add this code:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
4ļøā£ Save & close the file.
