I have a full cPanel backup on my computer. It's from a Wordpress website that I built half-way. I want to extract the posts and move them to a new blog I'm building. If this is what you can do, hit me up on Telegram @Cyberczar.

As you probably know, the Wordpress posts and pages are stored on the database, in a table called wp_posts. If you have a database dump included in a backup, you can spin up a VM, set up the default root/ combo for the database, restore the CPanel backup there, and then access the DB to SELECT the posts by their ID. The posts are stored in HTML format so you can then dump them into an SQL backup and then import them into a new database.

But it would probably be easier to use plugins like UpdraftPlus, XCloner, and the like if you had a live and internet-connected (that is, not localhost) version of the site.

Good to see you, Pal. I hope your project worked out fine? Do you think we can talk about it on Telegram? Maybe you'd help me do it?

Sorry for the delay, I was busy throwing pitchforks and torches at my Dogecoin node. You can send me a message.

You did not mention if it's a WordPress-to-WordPress migration, or a WordPress-to-another blogging platform, if it's a WordPress-to-WordPress migration you can follow this tutorial https://wpmudev.com/blog/moving-wordpress-site/

If you are transferring to a new host the best way is to ask support to transfer your entire Cpanel back up to your new Cpanel it's always free and it's a smooth transition.

Hey,
It is very easy. Just navigate to the existing file and replace it.
