  A friend wanted to take part in running my blog. Instead of archiving it he deleted all past entries and started up another page. Is it possible to retrieve the lost years of entries?

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

  Hello @brncrnvolunteerband
  When a post/page is deleted it is moved to Trash where they are stored for 30 days before they get deleted permanently.

  You can access the trash by visiting this link: https://wordpress.com/posts/trashed/

  And,

  If an item has been permanently deleted from your blog by an authorized user, there is no way to recover it, so be very careful when permanently deleting anything from your blog, and assign the proper user role for blogs with multiple users.

  Stated here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleted-posts-and-pages/

  Thanks!

  Thank you for this, unfortunately the 30 days has passed, so it looks like I will not be able to retrieve any of my work.

  Hmmm it looks like so…

  But if you still need to talk to the staff regarding this topic you can add the modlook tag on the Tags section of the sidebar, so that this thread gets the staff’s attention.

  Thank you, looks like I will have to start again from ‘Scratch’.

  Thanks for your advice.
