Hi There,
I recently noticed that one of the developers that built our site has been logging on and making changes to our site.
I decided it was time to delete his admin.
What i realised just as i pressed confirm delete, that all that user's posts and links were set to delete.
This is disastrous! Is their any way of restoring these pages/user?

Do you have a backup of your database?
Do you have a recent database backup?

i have a backup but i'm not sure how recent it is.
What files in the wp content folder do I have to restore?
None. It's your database content that you need to restore.

Because our website's content is changing so often, it would probably be more work to start way back from the last backup.
I can't find any page'ish file to restore.
Where are they saved?
You can't restore any pages! All post and page content is stored in your database.

I've seemed to have lost about 8 pages out of 36.
The best method of recovery i have found is to strip the code from the Google cache files
