Editing an existing website

Hi All,
I lost all my websites that I made with WYSIWYG in a ransomware attack, including 3 backup drives which were all still connected to my PC at the time. Horrible thing to happen, all photos - EVERYTHING! I reinstalled Win-10-Pro 21H1 and all is good. If I download the websites from the server, (I use HT-Tracker) can they be loaded into WYSIWYG so I can edit them? Cheers and thankyou for any response.

Is there a possibility that you have uploaded a backup project file namely the .wbs of each site to the server? If so then you can simply download these and open in the program again. Note you will also need to reinstall any and all extensions used for each project before you can open. You will also need to download any and all images from the server and save to a location on your PC as the software with ask for these if used in extensions or on pages.

If this isn't the case then it is possible to import the HTML of the page(s) back into the software. Note not everything will get imported such as any scripts used the likes of Galleries, Menus etc so you will need to redo these.
You can read more on importing HTML:at the following
