If you are looking for a quick and efficient solution to all the problems that you can encounter on your WordPress website or blog, then you are in the right place. Here you will learn more about our new addition to WP Reset that will save your time.
What is the Emergency Recovery Script?
Webfactory created the Emergency Recovery Script, which is a standalone PHP script. They created it so that it can operate independently from WordPress, and because of that, you can use it to address various problems on your WordPress site. This file can come in handy if you are unable to log in to your site or if your site does not run properly and throws out errors.
In what situations can this tool help?
When downloading new WordPress upgrades or any plugin update, they can often mess up your whole WordPress website or blog. Because of that, it makes it complicated and difficult to get a good workflow. Because of these problems, it is often impossible to reach your website or blog, which can create a lot of problems. And in case that happens to you, you will need to spend a considerable amount of time in order to fix it.
So rather than spending quality time on self-debugging or paying professionals to do that for you, use the Emergency Recovery Script to download and reinstall Core Files, reset your WordPress, or load snapshots if WP Reset was previously used. There are various other situations in which this tool would come in handy. If you have reset your email password, but the mail has not yet come, or you cannot open the administrator dashboard due to the white screen of death, or you are not sure if essential WP files are compromised, then this tool is just for you.
By following this link, you can see how easy using this tool can be and how certain situations can be resolved quickly.
