How to unpack .wpress archive files created by the All-in-one-Wp-Migration Wordpress plugin

Recently I needed to download some files from a Wordpress installation where the client only gave me access to the admin dashboard. Fortunately the All-in-One WP Migration plugin was already installed, so I could take a quick backup of the whole site by downloading the installed plugins, theme and database. To my surprise downloading the backup from the All-in-One WP Migration plugin only gave me a single compressed migration.wpress file that any unpack tool refused to extract. A little web search brought me to a five year old tool called Wpress-Extractor but the provided binaries for MacOS refused to work because the package was already too old.

So I decided to rewrite this little helpful tool in Node.js to make it cross-platform compatible for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Ok here it is: A simple 2-step tutorial how to extract a file with the .wpress extension on your computer:

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] or tweet at me @statisticsftw

This is a rough outline of how we utilize next.js and S3/Cloudfront. Hope it helps!

It assumes some knowledge of AWS.

The current kernel/drivers of Fedora 24 do not support the Wifi chip used on my Mac Book Pro. Proprietary Broadcom drivers are packaged and available in the rpmfusion repo.

Verify that your card is a Broadcom using: lspci -vnn -d 14e4:

Sample output:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

Install

Install the rpmfusion repo, note only "nonfree" is required, as the Broadcom Driver is proprietry: http://rpmfusion.org/

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
