How do I restore a previous install
-
Hi there, I have a hosted site and have an previous install of my wordpress site but I can’t seem to get my old site back – the site was http://www.thefussyfoodie.com.au
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks like you actually need help for a WordPress powered site hosted at Bluehost, not a site hosted at WordPress.com. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are a little separate, and that can be confusing.
You’ll want to use the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ for any support on managing your site. Hope that helps to point you in the right direction!

Thanks – yep I have a wp.com and an (old) wp.org account/site but this post pulled in my .org one too – could not edit! Anyway I’m trying to follow up with bluehost too as a new install will overwrite my old site but I can’t seem to go back to my previous install (even though they said I would be able to when I renewed). All in all, my bad for not renewing!

If they deleted the old install when the hosting expired, then that’s gone. You might be able to re-export from the WordPress.com hosted site and recover those posts at least? https://move.wordpress.com
If Bluehost trashed your old hosting files, the internet archive can also be helpful to copy and paste. http://web.archive.org

Thank you – I completely forgot about the wayback machine – that will be super-helpful if all else fails. Meanwhile I’m in a chat with bluehost. Thanks again.
