The need to edit the configuration files is absent in this platform and this makes the b2evolution an ideal CMS platform for novice web administrators. However, never underestimate the capabilities of this open source web publishing software package.

Hosting a blog that has a high number of unique visitors might seem like a lucrative affair to the aspiring web entrepreneurs. They do not realize that certain kinds of spammers are always on the lookout for such blogs. They will post links to their websites as comments on the blog with the sole intention of boosting their page ranking. The diligent web administrators always avoid these spammers by including additional plug-ins. With b2evolution, spamming is history! Flagging a spammer (with the aid of his unique IP address) will alert the rest of the blogs utilizing the same platform. In effect, the spammer will not be able to post any links on blogs and websites that use b2evolution.

Support for scores of blogs along with an equal number of domains and sub-domains is natively in built on b2evolution. Themes are known as skins in this CMS platform. Umpteen numbers of skins are available on the internet, and you can use one of them for your website.

Once you have that, you will have to upload the entire folder of the skin on the server. First, locate your b2evolution installation directory. This will be the public_html/ directory of your account if you are accessing your website directly through the main domain of your account.

How to create a manual backup of b2evolution

It is important to generate backups of your b2evolution website on a regular basis, especially when you make major changes on your website. There is a way to create an automated b2evolution backup, but we will also review the manual process.

There are two main steps for a b2evolution manual backup:

STEP

Backup the Files

The first step is to generate a backup of your b2evolution files on the server. You need to locate the exact location on the server, where you have installed b2evolution. This is usually the public_html/ directory of your account, if your website is installed directly on the primary domain of your account. However, this location may vary, depending on your website’s configuration.

Upload Files

There are two ways of uploading your files to the server – using an FTP client, or uploading directly through your cPanel account > File Manager.

STEP

Backup the Database

The second step is to generate a backup of your database. To do so, you need to access your cPanel account first. Navigate to the Databases section and then click on the phpMyAdmin service.

Access phpMyAdmin via cPanel

You will see a list of all databases on your account on the left side of the screen. To choose the database set on your website, simply click on it’s name.

Quick export option for your b2evolution database

With this, you have completed the tutorial on how to manually backup b2evolution.

How to restore a backup of b2evolution

A restore of a b2evolution backup may be required if something goes wrong with your website and you wish to restore it to operational state again. The process is easy and it does not require much configuration, but we recommend completing each step carefully to ensure a proper restore of your website.

The steps for a full b2evolution restore are:

STEP

Restore the b2evolution Files

The first step is to restore the files of your b2evolution website on your account. For that purpose, first choose the location, where you would like to restore the website. In most cases, this would be the public_html/ directory of your account, if you wish to access your website using the primary domain of your account directly. However, this may differ, depending on your personal preferences.Also, make sure that the directory, where you are uploading the files of your backup, is empty. This is important as if there are files from the previous installation, this may cause a conflict.

Upload Files

There are two ways of uploading your files to the server – using an FTP client,or uploading directly through your cPanel account > File Manager.

STEP

Restore the b2evolution Database

To restore the database of your website, you first need to create a new and empty database on your account. You also need to set a user with full privileges to the new database.

MySQL Configuration

You can create a new database and a user assigned to it via cPanel.

When you have a new database created, you can access your cPanel account and locate the Databases section. Click on the phpMyAdmin service to proceed further.

Access phpMyAdmin via cPanel

From the list of available databases on your account, select the one that you have created above.

Select database via phpMyAdmin

Click on the Import button at the top-menu.

Select Import option to restore b2evolution database

To select the dump backup of your database from your local computer, click on the Choose File button. After that, hit the Go button to initiate the import process.

Initiate import of your b2evolution database

STEP

Up until now, you will have two things done already. The first thing is a location on your account, where you have restored the files of your b2evolution backup. The second thing is the restored backup of your b2evolution database. Now, to complete the full restore of your website, you need to link them together.

You can do that by editing the main configuration file of your b2evolution website. To access it, first access the location of your b2evolution website via FTP or directly through the File Manager service within your cPanel account. Then navigate to /conf/_basic_config.php. The file contains a few vital options for your website.

In the main configuration file, you need to edit two of the options in it. The first thing is the database details it is using and edit the userpasswordname and host options.

/**
 * MySQL DB settings.
 * Fill in your database details (check carefully or nothing will work!)
 */
$db_config = array(
        'user'     => 'examplef_b2e',     // your MySQL username
        'password' => 'p4ssw0rd',     // ...and password
        'name'     => 'examplef_b2e',  // the name of the database
        'host'     => 'localhost',    // MySQL Server (typically 'localhost')
);

The second place that you can edit is the baseurl option for your website. If you are changing the URL of your website, you need to edit that. However, if you are using the same location as before, you can skip this change as it will not be necessary.

$baseurl = 'http://examplefcom.com/'

When you adjust the changes in the configuration file of your b2evolution website, the restore is fully completed. You can test that by accessing your website via your favorite web browser.

Features

B2evolution describe their product as a CCMSContent + Community Management System, and when you look at how they’ve integrated the features that now appear within the latest version, you can see where they’re coming from with that. Version 6.6.x represents a significant step forward in the way b2evo is structured and presented, giving options ‘out of the box’ that other products usually require either plugins or separate skins to achieve.

Features of B2evolution 6.6:

1.Bootstrap, HTML5 & jQuery

In an effort to ensure that b2evo can be as well supported as possible, Francois and the team he works with, have chosen to build this latest version using HTML5 semantic tags, Bootstrap and jQuery. Whilst not everyone is a fan of these, it does open the door to an increased number of skins becoming available, given the number of developers who are familiar with them. The skins included with the download begin to give a hint as to what should be possible, as both front and back-office presentation looks a lot cleaner than before.

2.Collections

The b2evolution redesign is based on the idea that groups of content will become a blog, a gallery, a forum, a manual, or a workflow based tracker – a Collection.

‘Collections’ gives you another dashboard, but this time with the ability to drill into the posts and configuration setting for the individual collections that make up a site. For an administrator, this will likely be home, as it gives ready access to publish, and moderate, posts and comments, as well as set up the configuration to be used in that area of the site – this includes features, skins, plugins, widgets and more general settings.

To start off a new section of your site content, all you need do is click the large ‘+’ icon under the ‘Collections’ tab, and select which type you wish to build from there. The one thing I did note when I tested this feature, was that there didn’t appear to be a supplied skin for the tracker option, but I’m guessing this won’t be too far behind.

When you look at the way 6.6.x has been put together, a very simple premise becomes apparent behind the new capabilities, a ‘topic’ or ‘post’ is created, and everything thereafter is a ‘comment’, what drives the type collection it becomes is down to the skin chosen to present it. The nice feature in all of this, going back to our theoretical online training company, is that all of the collections you create share a common user database, so minimising the amount of work needed to configure what a member can or cannot access – all access settings can be set either at a collection, group, or more granular level for an individual member, including those members whose rights you wish to restrict or exclude altogether.

  • Manage multiple blogs simultaneously and coordinate large web projects with ease using b2evolution.
  • From the initial installation onwards, b2evolution offers numerous components for ambitious web projects – integrate forums or picture galleries and profit from the built-in spam protection and useful analytic and statistics tools.
  • b2evolution supports your workflow and encourages team work – administer reading, writing and managerial rights to users in just a few clicks.
  • Use the integrated SEO tools to optimize your website, to make sure you can be found by search engines.
  • With IONOS you benefit from the know-how of our expert support – install b2evolution from the app center using Click & Build and get started straight away!
  • Initial Setup

This is the area where B2Evolution really shines. You can get your site up and running quickly and easily. The install options will largely be done for you and you’ll be able to enjoy a site that runs well right out of the box. You can even setup multiple sites from a single location.

  • Plugins

There are a limited number of plugins available for this platform and those that are published are sometimes hard to find. While all the most important ones are available, this platform could really benefit from a more organized and efficient plugin system.

  • Themes

Like with the plugins, the inventory of themes is too limited. You can get a number of them right from the main B2Evolution site but beyond that there really isn’t too much. In addition, installing and configuring templates is more difficult than it needs to be.

  • Customization

Customization is possible, but difficult. The makers of B2Evolution clearly expect the users to have a lot of PHP experience so if you actually do have this experience you will be able to make desired customizations. Even with themes and plugins though it can be difficult to get everything setup the way you want it.

  • SEO Friendly

This blogging platform is quite SEO friendly right from the first install. Some people will want to use plugins to make further improvements or adjustments but unless you are planning on really tweaking every single little thing for SEO that is really unnecessary.

  • Cost of Running

While free to use, this platform is likely going to cost you more over time. First, if you don’t know PHP than you’ll need to have a good developer that you can call for assistance and while PHP coders aren’t the most expensive, it will still add up. Next, when you think about the web hosting with this platform you will want to make sure to choose a high quality service.
