Today, I was really shocked when I found that I have lost all of my exported posts from a wordpress blog. The incident is– Some days ago I determined to transfer some posts from one of my blog to another blog. And this is why I deleted all my post after exporting it in a XML file. But, like a fool, I stored the XML file at C Drive of my computer.
Storing at C Drive would not be a worst thing, if didn’t have to format my Windows Installation Drive (C Drive) to install a fresh new operating system as some problems occurred in my PC. I couldn’t backup any files before starting the installation process as there were no way to start the PC.
Today, when I needed to upload the downloaded contents to a new website, I found that I have lost something important. I tried to recover my formatted files by using different software like “Easy Recovery”, “Recuva” but I didn’t get back my XML files.
Later, suddenly a feature of WordPress blog appeared on my mind; which is “Trash”. The work of “Trash” feature is – storing deleted blog post in a folder. And the posts are restorable whenever you want. Without losing any time I rushed to my deleted wordpress dashboard and restored all of the posts I needed.
Eventually, I got back my post; I got back my some painless, valuable time which would have to be spend to write the contents once again. And I am sure, if I have to do so, I wouldn’t be able to write the quality contents that it was.
Now, I would like to tell you in steps what I did to recover my deleted WordPress blog posts—
1. Firstly go to your WordPress “Dashboard”.
2. From the sidebar, find the “Post” menu and Click on “Edit” button.
3. Here you will get three (3) options like “All” , “Published” and “Trash”.
4. Click on “Trash” tab. All of the deleted post will be showed.
5. Now click on the “Restore” link that will be found under every of the posts.
If you can do so according what I have said above, you will see all of the restored post already published on your blog or website. Happy???
Now it’s your turn. I would be highly glad if you tell me any other tricks of restoring or recovering deleted WordPress blog post.

Next time don’t delete the posts, put them into ‘private post’ mode. Thus, normal users cannot see the posts, but all of them will still be there if you require it later.
Thanks Kaushik bro………
“Private Post” is best trick. Actually I didn’t look at it carefully, so I didn’t know the use of it. Thanks for sharing……
and….welcome to this blog!!!
You will need that to run WordPress from your website. Blog Hosts
My wordpress blog shows the number of posts but none of the posts appear.
It just shows the count of posts but not the posts.
