About this plugin
UXPack Basic is a free WordPress backup and migration plugin. Create full site backups (files + database) or database-only backups from the admin, download the archives, and move a site to staging or another host with the included standalone installer.
Built for reliability and a clear admin UI — without cloud lock-in, without a license key, and without contacting a commercial license or update server.
Backup & migrate WordPress without the hassle
- Create a backup from the WordPress admin
- Download the ZIP archive (and installer when needed)
- Upload to the destination and run the installer
- Finish URL migration and go live
No developer required for a typical single-site move. Start from an empty destination — UXPack’s installer can bring files and database over in one flow.
What’s included in Basic
- Manual backups — full site (files + database) or database only
- Backup list — download and delete archives; responsive layout on smaller screens
- Schedules — daily, weekly, or monthly; up to 10 named schedules
- Exclude paths — skip folders you do not need in full backups
- Email notifications — optional success/failure mail for backups
- Storage & health warnings — disk and stale-backup notices
- Standalone installer — migrate to another server, with health checks and URL migration
- Tools — server/schedule diagnostics and leftover installer cleanup
- Activity log — see what ran; clear or export CSV when needed
- Settings export / import — move configuration as JSON
- Hardened backup directory — sensible defaults under wp-content/uploads/uxpack-backups (direct web access blocked)
Why site owners pick UXPack
- Clear workflow: backup → download → installer
- Local storage you control (path under uploads or legacy uxpack-backups; configurable in Settings → Storage)
- WordPress.org edition does not validate license keys
- Features that ship in Basic stay fully usable (no paywall on built-in code)
- Upgrade path to Pro when you need production modules that are omitted from this ZIP
