Deleted Content in WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a dedicated WordPress user, it&#8217;s highly likely that you may have accidentally deleted a post or page at some point. This can be an exceedingly frustrating experience, but let us assure you that WordPress provides users with a useful feature called the trash to restore deleted content. Read on for a brief guide on how to restore from trash in WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Trash_in_WordPress\"><\/span>What is the Trash in WordPress?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The trash is a unique feature in WordPress that allows users to temporarily store deleted content. Whenever you delete a post, page or comment, it is moved into the trash. From there, users have a maximum of 30 days to restore the content before it is permanently deleted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Restore_From_Trash_in_WordPress\"><\/span>How to Restore From Trash in WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restoring deleted content from the trash in WordPress is an uncomplicated process. Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Log_In_to_Your_WordPress_Dashboard\"><\/span>Step 1: Log In to Your WordPress Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The initial step is to log into your WordPress dashboard. Go to yourwebsite.com\/wp-admin and enter your login details.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Go_to_the_Trash\"><\/span>Step 2: Go to the Trash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re logged in, navigate to the trash. To do this, click on the &#8220;Posts&#8221; or &#8220;Pages&#8221; menu item (depending on what you want to restore), and then click on &#8220;Trash&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Restore_the_Post_or_Page\"><\/span>Step 3: Restore the Post or Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the trash, you should see a list of all the posts or pages you&#8217;ve deleted. To restore a post or page, hover over it and click &#8220;Restore&#8221;. The post or page will then be moved back to its original location.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to restore multiple posts or pages at once, you can select them using the checkboxes next to their titles, and then click &#8220;Bulk Actions&#8221; and &#8220;Restore&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Check_the_Post_or_Page\"><\/span>Step 4: Check the Post or Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After restoring a post or page, it&#8217;s always advisable to check it to make sure everything appears as it should. You should also check the URL to ensure it&#8217;s still the same.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_if_You_Don%E2%80%99t_Restore_From_the_Trash_Within_30_Days\"><\/span>What Happens if You Don&#8217;t Restore From the Trash Within 30 Days?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t restore a post or page from the trash within 30 days, it will be permanently deleted. Once it&#8217;s deleted, there&#8217;s absolutely no way to recover it.<\/p>\n<p>If you still need the content but have missed the 30-day window, try looking for it in a backup. Most hosting providers offer daily backups of your website, so check with your hosting provider to see if they have a backup you can restore from.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventing_Accidental_Deletions\"><\/span>Preventing Accidental Deletions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it\u2019s always possible to restore deleted content from the trash, it\u2019s best to avoid accidental deletions in the first place. Here are a few tips to help prevent them:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Use the Preview Feature:<\/strong> Before publishing a post or page, use the preview feature to ensure everything appears as it should. This can help you catch any mistakes or problems you might have missed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Careful When Editing:<\/strong> When editing a post or page, make sure you&#8217;re editing the correct one. If you have multiple tabs or windows open, it can be easy to accidentally edit the wrong one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a Plugin:<\/strong> Several plugins are available to help you recover deleted content, such as WP-Recycle Bin and Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect. These plugins can help you restore deleted content even if it&#8217;s been permanently deleted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In conclusion, restoring from trash in WordPress is a simple process. As long as you restore deleted content within 30 days, it can be easily recovered. However, it\u2019s always a good idea to prevent accidental deletions in the first place by using the preview feature, being careful when editing, and using a plugin to help you recover deleted content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Restore Deleted Content in WordPress If you&#8217;re a dedicated WordPress user, it&#8217;s highly likely that you may have accidentally deleted a post or&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8760"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
