Wpress-Extractor Windows/Mac/Linux

A simple app that allows you to extract .wpress files created by the awesome All-in-one-Wp-Migration Wordpress plugin

Credits

The extractor source code : https://github.com/yani-/wpress. I had to make a tiny modification to their reader.go file to allow it to run on Windows systems.

How to extract/open .wpress files ?

Simply provide a path to your downloaded .wpress file as the first commandline argument to the program. ./wpress_extractor /path/to/my/backup.wpress

I'm not very technical - How to use this thing?

The .wpress archive backup your wp-content directory

Instructions

Simply download the extractor then drop your.wpress file onto the executable (Wpress-extractor.exe). (Thanks hughc!)

Download the extractor
Create a directory where you wish your files to be extracted to (best to your wp-content directory of your wordpress install you wish to restore)
Copy the downloaded extractor to that directory
Copy your .wpress file to that directory as well
Open up a command prompt
CD into the directory you just created, let's say its C:\Wordpress-Backup. The command you'll run would be cd C:\Wordpress-Backup
Now run the following command wpress-extractor <name-of-your.wpress file>. For example my .wpress file was fifthsegment.wpress so the command I ran was wpress-extractor fifthsegment.wpress.
You'll find your files extracted into the same directory where the extractor was run. In my case it was C:\Wordpress-Backup
Database file is on database.sql
