Can you restore blog/account to a certain date?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I permanently deleted pictures from my media library. After searching online, I didn’t find any indication that this would remove them from my published blog posts. Now, I’ve bulk deleted a bunch of pictures and they’re all missing from my posts. Is there anyway to reset this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I’m sorry back there is no “restore” feature for blogs. There is no way for Staff to restore images that you deleted from your Media Library because when you did that you removed them from the servers. You have to upload each one again. https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/omg-my-images-are-gone/

    Thanks for the response! I am going to upload the pictures again, but all the links to those photos will be wrong. The pictures are automatically uploaded to month-specific folders. So, images uploaded in June were put in media library folder …/2015/06/. If I upload them now (October), they will be put into …/2015/10, but the links in the posts are still pointing to that June folder. Do you have anyway of changing the link locations or uploading the pictures to the properly named folder?

    There are no folders for images in any wordpress.com blogs in the Media Library. Are you sure you are not referring to a wordpress.ORG software install and posting to the wrong support forum?

    What is the URL of the site you refer to please?

    This is the wordpress.COM support forum. We provide support only for blogs hosted here. We do not provide support for sites hosted anywhere else and that site is not hosted here.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  • Hi, we can’t restore to a specific date. In case anyone else is searching, deleting images from your media library will break them in your posts. :(
