Hi, Nick

Firstly i want to apologise for the delayed response time.

We celebrated our Orthodox Easter, which has slowed down our working pace.

Thank you very much for your patience.

I am sorry to see that this deletion has happened like that.

We never had reports of the plugin doing something like this during Updates;

In the future if you can double-check this setting, this should always be disabled, in Amelia settings > Activation settings - Delete Amelia content:

If that gets enabled, it would cause deletion of all Amelia database tables with settings.

Now, i will advise you how you can copy everything back in the database:

Other than cloning your website with something like the Duplicator plugin ( which is what we use, easiest way, but this is to copy entire site) ,

 there's a way to migrate only Amelia's database tables.

There are around 47 tables with wp_amelia_ prefix that need to be moved. Please note that wp_ is the default database prefix, but on your end, it could be anything, so look for your_prefix_amelia_ tables.

Besides that, you also need to go to wp_options and search for option_name "amelia_settings" - that returns one row, so you need to copy the option_value and paste it in the same field on the other site. Note that this contains all info from your old website, so you will need to replace the URLs in this cell.

-

Regarding the plugins folder, you can simply reinstall Amelia plugin there - it won't affect any settings; 

and all the your_prefix_amelia_ tables you can copy them directly into your database.

You would use this Import tab in something like phpMyAdmin:

Let me know how that seems, and if you need help. Thank you.

Hi, Nick

Sorry, i accidentally copied an unnecessary bit of the beginning of the message from somewhere else;

Then i edited the response.

I wanted to add, if you need help on how to import a database or table via PhPMyAdmin, here is a useful page with example and step-by-step instructions.
