Registered Blog Users/Subscribers NOT showing

    I accidentally pressed “Manage Spam Users” in the Simple:Press Forum plugin and deleted all my registered blog users/subscribers.

    I didn’t have a current backup available, so I had to export the USERS and USERMETA tables from a 2-week old backup into my current WordPress database.

    That worked fine for some plugins where my registered users are back and visible, but not for all: some plugins still only show new registered users and those users that were not deleted (accidentally) because they had posted to my blog.

    Simple:Press Forum does not keep in any table a list of the email addresses it deletes as spam – but does WordPress? Is there another table that I should be looking in for a record of the email addresses that were accidentally deleted?

    Or is there some other reason why registered blog users (who have never posted to the site) are not showing up?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Don’t know where Simple Press stores users, but WordPress puts the users in wp_users and the user_email is in that table.

    You might consider installing something like XAMPP on your local computer and then restore your complete ‘old’ database to that, or create another database on your host and restore your complete ‘old’ database backup into that database, then go looking for what you might have to either restore or fix in your live blog/database.

    Also might ask your host if they have a more recent database backup.

    Use this link to find an appropriate backup that routinely sends you current backups:

    Thanks, MichaelH.

    I solved the problem by manually, painstakingly, adding each user to the table where Simple:Press Forum stores the list of Forum members and now everything is back to normal. It didn’t take quite as long as expected and teaches me to be a lot less careless in future.

    I’ll check out one of your auto backup suggestions for sure, thanks again!
