How to recover published articles by a deleted user
-
Hi,
If a user is deleted and the user has published articles before his account was deleted, can these articles be recovered? if yes, how? -
Hi there, if the user is not the owner of the site, you’ll be able to choose whether or not the articles are deleted with them, remain attributed to them, or are assigned to a different author when deleting them.
If the user is the owner of the site, then the site and all of its content will be lost, unless transferred to another owner first.
Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Thank you for your reply.
The user (the author) that is already deleted is not the owner of the site, however, the user had admin rights.
Is it still possible to recover the articles lost? if yes, how can the owner or any other administrator recover the articles that were published by the deleted author? I appreciate your guidance. -
We can definitely check on that!
What are the URL of the site and the titles of 2 or 3 missing posts?
-
is there an email address I can forward the info you requested? The content of the website is not open to the public.

Are you sure this is a site hosted at WordPress.com and not a site using the WordPress.org software hosted elsewhere?
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/ we cannot directly assist with them.
If it’s a WordPress.org site, they have complete documentation at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
