If you need to upload a database for one of your websites, follow the step-by-step instructions below using phpMyAdmin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page<\/a>.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Go to Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once logged in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the Control Panel<\/strong> button next to the plan you wish to manage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting<\/strong>, Agency Hosting<\/strong> or WooCommerce Hosting<\/strong> tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Step 3. Open phpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the Control Panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select Databases<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Then click on the phpMyAdmin<\/strong> button to open it. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4. Upload the database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once inside phpMyAdmin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select the database where you want to upload the new data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Click on the Import<\/strong> tab at the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If you’re uploading a full database, you may need to drop the content first. Here is a detailed guide <\/strong><\/a>on how to do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        On the Import screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Click Choose File<\/strong> (1) and select the .sql<\/code> database<\/strong> (2) file from your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Make sure the database is empty before importing. If your .sql<\/code> file is too large to upload through phpMyAdmin, simply reach out to WPX Support and they’ll assist you with the import process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If the database is successfully imported, you’ll see a confirmation message like in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        That’s it. You’ve successfully uploaded a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
