How To Recover Deleted Post In WordPress

Hi Folks,Today I am going to share some methods with all of you by which you  can recover deleted Pages/Posts on your WordPress blog. It,s a common problem for those who are  running a website and can happen to anyone whether he is Professional Webmaster or Beginner.

This happened to me last week, I accidentally deleted(Even emptied Trash Folder) 2 guest posts on my website. I thought that my article can not be restored   but thanks to Google I found some methods and got my articles back.

Methods Which You Can Use For Restoring Deleted Posts In WordPress.

1. WordPress Trash

Go to your Dashboard and click on Posts if you have deleted your post or if you have deleted you page then click on Pages.You will see 3 options there namely Posts,Drafts and Trash. By Clicking on the Trash option you will see the list of deleted blog posts.

This method will work only if you have not emptied your trash folder.In my case i emptied my trash folder too as a result this method did not work for me. If you have emptied your trash folder then check you will have to use other method which i have posted below.

2. Google Cache

If you cant find your WordPress Post/Page in trash folder then you can recover your  deleted post using Google Cache. But you will see Google Cached version of your article only when Google  have indexed your post. Search for your deleetd post on google using (“Site:Yourwebsitename.com: Post Title”) and then click on cached version of your website. Now you need to view its source code by pressing “F12” in Chrome and Ctrl+U in Mozilla Firefox. Copy and paste it in your new blog post and choose same url so that you don,t loose any backlinked traffic.  It will look something like this.

3. WayBackMachine

You can also recover your blog article with the help of WayBackMachine. Just visit WayBackMacine and click on “‘Take Me Back’”. But if your website is new then this will not work for you becouse WayBackMachine will not have enough archived version of your website.

4. RSS Feed

If you have been publishing your blog posts as RSS feed you can go back to Feedburner and start digging through the older feeds and recover the individual blog posts.Remember if you have set blog feed to full, then you will be able to recover your full post along with  images but if you have set blog feed to short then you will recover only small part of your article.

If all the above methods fail then you have no choice but to install WordPress Backup Plugin like BackUpWordPress or BackupBuddy !!

I hope this article will help someone!! If you know any other method by which we can recover deleted post then please share via leaving your valubale comments.
