Backup and Restore

Protecting Your Site

Every auto-fix creates an automatic backup, ensuring you can always restore the original state.

Automatic Backups

When you apply an auto-fix:

1. Plugin records the current state
2. Change is applied
3. Backup is stored securely

No action needed - it is automatic.

What Gets Backed Up

• WordPress options that will change
• Database rows that will be modified
• File contents if files are edited

Backup Storage

Backups are stored in:

wp-content/tsa-backups/

Protected by:

• .htaccess rules (no direct access)
• Index.php (prevents directory listing)
• 30-day automatic cleanup

Restoring a Backup

To undo any auto-fix:

1. Go to Technical Auditor > Issues
2. Filter by Fixed status
3. Find the issue to undo
4. Click the Undo button
5. Confirm when prompted

The original state is restored instantly.

Backup Retention

Backups are kept for 30 days, then automatically deleted. If you need longer retention:

1. Go to Settings > Backup
2. Change retention period
3. Save

Note: Longer retention uses more disk space.
