Restore deleted Page/Post (5 posts)

    Hallo.
    I accidently deleted one more Page than needed when I was "cleaning up" in the admin area. The good thing is that I made a backup on that day earlier. I noticed that one importand page is missing only today, and after the backup I added some news and changed settings...
    Is there a way I can restore only that page without restoring anything else?
    I tried to find WP page database in the files and in the mysql but I could not find out where does WP store its content files.

    Regards, Rebrain

    you would have to find the row in the database table manually and re-add it to the current database.

    Are you familiar with phpMyAdmin ?

    Thats the only way I would know how to do it.

    Yes I have an idea about phpMyAdmin.
    But what table do I need to copy?(I need to restore a page)
    I looked at the database that was backed up with a notepad and did not find anything at all that could contain any post or page.
    Thanks.

    why cant you just rewrite the post/page? whats the big deal?

    If you know the post/page is missing, then surely you must know a meaningful word that was inside it.

    As you discovered, MySQL backups are nothing but text files. Search your backup for the meaningful word -- Theres your deleted post.

    Use copy and paste, and just recreate whatever is missing.

    If you cant find the content in the backup, no-one here can help you.
