I am in need of urgent assistance

    I had previously used a wordpress business plan for around a year, and then downgraded to a free plan, thinking I could restore the site completely from the tar.gz backup jetpack file. Now I’m panicking because I have a very important interview and was really hoping to show off the content of my site as it was 2 years ago, but since I temporarily ended my business plan, there is no way for me to access backups from that time period. I’m having a lot of issues trying to install the original plugins, including some critical errors.

    Is there any way a member of staff could restore my site to how it was in March or April of 2022 with all of it’s original plugins installed? As it is right now, the format is ruined and you can’t see any images.

    This is kind of an urgent request, as I’m expecting this interview in the next few days, and would love to use some of the pages on my site as an example of my seo experience.

    I would really, really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

    Hello –

    Thanks for writing to us. I can see that you were recently in touch with our live chat support team. This is the best route for any real-time or emergent needs on the site.

    I’m going to take a closer look at growkaru.com now and will report back on what possibilities we have to help.

    After a closer look I can see that the site was reverted to a basic option on April 8th. You will want to revert your site to a previous day, like the 6th or 7th. I’ve shared those instructions below. We do not hold on to back ups from the previous year, though.
