I copied the files to my hard drive but doubt that they are a complete backup due to potential invisible files, etc. that may not have copied.<\/p>\n<p>My question: Is it possible to retrieve and copy the text from the old blog posts from these files? And if so, how would I do this? I don&#8217;t care that much about the photos and layouts. I&#8217;d be quite happy just to have the basic text. Two of the domains are long expired and one remains active but with an entirely new website in its place.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for any help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-7000588","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/7000588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/7000588\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7000588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
