Title: Missing posts & pages Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Missing posts & pages * [MySimpleWays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mysimpleways/) * (@mysimpleways) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/) * Hi, * I recently deleted an unknown subscriber, suspected it was a hacker. Unfortunately more than half of my posts & pages went missing afterwards. I can see them as total number of posts and pages on my Dashboard, but when I clicked on them to edit, they are just not there! * I have tried to de-activate all plug-ins, but there is no change. How can I get all my posts & pages back? * Any ideas? * Many thanks, Brenda Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Borko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media-x/) * (@media-x) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135753) * Do you have a database backup (made prior to the dissapearance of posts)? Try asking your host. They should have one and they can restore it. * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135754) * Looks like you are hacked. What’s your site URL? Do you have a backup of your site that’s of a date before the posts went missing? * Thread Starter [MySimpleWays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mysimpleways/) * (@mysimpleways) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135757) * Thanks. I figured I was hacked. *Angry!* * I thought I had a back-up, but it was an old one. I will try to ask my host if they can restore it. * The url is [http://www.mysimpleways.com](http://www.mysimpleways.com) * [Krishna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1nexus/) * (@1nexus) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135760) * If your site is hacked then you need to start working your way through these resources: [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/268083#post-1065779](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/268083#post-1065779) [http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/](http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/) [http://ottopress.com/2009/hacked-wordpress-backdoors/](http://ottopress.com/2009/hacked-wordpress-backdoors/) * Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your site again. * Additional Resources: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress) [http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/](http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/) [http://www.unmaskparasites.com/](http://www.unmaskparasites.com/) [http://blog.sucuri.net/2012/03/wordpress-understanding-its-true-vulnerability.html](http://blog.sucuri.net/2012/03/wordpress-understanding-its-true-vulnerability.html) * Thread Starter [MySimpleWays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mysimpleways/) * (@mysimpleways) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135771) * Thank you, Krishna, I will take a look. * Thread Starter [MySimpleWays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mysimpleways/) * (@mysimpleways) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-pages/#post-4135775) * I have installed Wordefense plugin, and it has not found any weirdness after running a scan.

That’s what I thought since I couldn’t find anythings that have changed besides my pages and posts went missing. * When I was going to delete the subscriber, I had an option asking if I want all posts direct to me. Since I didn’t think that subscriber had any posts (not that I could see either), I chose no. It was a few days afterwards I found out my posts went missing. * I can see I have 44 posts and 21 pages on the Dashboard, but when I click on posts or pages, I have only 12 posts and 3 pages on the list. * Does it make any sense?
