Archived posts are gone when uninstalled.

    Hi,

    I installed this plugin and it worked perfectly fine. Posts didn’t show up in my homepage and posts didn’t show up in my sitemap XML file (RankMath).

    Yesterday, I decided to uninstall it and totally delete it (client demand). The problem is, all the previously archived posts are gone and when I checked my sitemap, they didn’t show up either.

    My question is, how do I retrieve those files and go back to what it was before prior to installing this plugin?

    Thanks in advance.

    The posts are still on the database, it is just that WordPress does not recognise them anymore. So just reinstall the plugin, go through and change all the posts to publish (or a similar native status), then deactivate and uninstall the plugin

    I’ll add this to the faq to make it obvious in the future

    Out of interest why did the client demand it be uninstalled?

    I have added an explanation and instructions to the latest version, as such I will resolve this issue, but I will still monitor the thread and reopen if appropriate
