Last fall I changed the name of my blog from 2012thelandlovers.wordpress.com to shesherahzatoon.wordpress.com.
I did NOT delete my blog.

Now all the posts from 2012thelandlovers are missing.

I NEED to restore these posts to my blog. Help

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

2012thelandlovers.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.

You changed both your username and the blog address from what I can tell by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

That is correct.
I did not delete the site, although I know that is what the message says when folks try to access it. For a period of time following the name change, ALL of the previous posts from 2012the landlovers were available in the “trash.”

Did you try to restore them from Trash? http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

There is no ability to get them from Google’s cache as they were password protected.

I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I held them in “trash” because it was the simplest bulk method of hiding them from the public. I did not want to lose them, and intended to restore them to some level of visibility later. Now, when I looked for them, they were no longer available in “trash.”

Thank you for your help!

I was NOT aware of this.
Can these files be restored by WordPress?
Thanks.

I don’t believe that’s possible. I have tagged this thread for Staff previously. They address threads tagged for their attention as would be expected, in order of datestamps and time stamps by responding to those with the earliest dates and times first and move forward to the most recent. It’s in your best interest not to post here again but to just wait patiently as posting again moves the timestamp forward.

There is no way to undo deletion of items removed from the trash after 30 days.

Hi, maybe the question is the same:
I have created a blog named
http://springtrio.wordpress.com/ than changed into
ensemblespringtrio.wordpress.com but now I have to go back to the old one is this possible?

Thank you for the reply.

May I suggest that the fact that “items in trash are deleted after thirty days” be clearly stated in a dialogue box or on the “trash” page after putting an item into trash?

I will have someone look into that.

No items found.
