I accidentally deleted a number of pages a few minutes ago. Is there a way to restore those without doing a complete restore from a previous version?
Nope. You can recreate them if you have them saved in archive.org. I had to do that once. Good way to learn a lesson to save a backup from the WP panel before doing major updates to site. And periodically, out of paranoia….
Thanks for the reply. I did make a backup and guess I thought it didn’t work properly so that’s why I asked if there was another way. The pages I needed were just in the “trash” category so they were available, I just had to restore them. Crisis averted.
Whew! That was lucky. That’s good basic WordPress knowledge a lot of folks forget; as that sort of thing not managed by the theme in any way.
But yes! If still in the trash and not deleted, that is how to get them back.
Over here, I run the WP-Optimizer after doing a lot of updates, but that also empties the trash, which is why that didn’t even occur to me to suggest. (doh)
