  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue URGENT - All my Wordpress websites are gone

Charlotte Oswald

New Pleskian
Hello all,
I will try to make this brief.
I have not used plesk a lot before, and a client has asked me to clone one of their subdomains.
I thought the best way to do that, was to create the subdomain, and then "install" Wordpress onto it. However, I did not know that installing Wordpress would remove Wordpress off all the other website - notably the main domain. (http://smg-portal.com) if you visit this website, you will notice that I receive an error. I visit the settings page on Plesk, and noticed that Wordpress was no longer on there. So I used a test subdomain that was already on there (My CMS – Just another WordPress site) and installed Wordpress on there. That worked, however, it was a brand new version of Wordpress, with no pages whatsoever. If I use this method to restore the other websites, will I lose ALL my previous content? I cannot afford to mess up that big, as I have a terrible feeling I've lost all other websites now! Is there a way I can get the old websites back with Wordpress and everything? I did not back up because I didn't think Plesk would screw me this bad! Urgent help is appreciated please!
 
If it helps, I checked the databases on plesk and they seem to be Wordpress tables. However, next to the name of the table I see the option : assign to website. Does that mean its not assigned? I am afraid to click or change anything at this point as I cannot lose this website.
