lost all my pics/ contents from the old editor
-
HI,
you have switched to classic editor, I’ve lost all my pics/ contents for many years
under the new classic editor, it only shows my last 2 posts, i’ve lost at least 20 post and 50 pics.
1/ how can I get them back
2/ can i use the old editor, I just need to edit into HTML and insert pic
Thanks -
Hi there!
The editor should not have affected the content on your site, what’s the address of the site in question?
Also, please note that you can still use the old editor by clicking on the ‘. . .’ settings icon in the upper right corner of the editing screen. Then, click on Switch to Classic Editor.

As far as activity goes, the only activity on that site were the 4 files deleted 12 months ago, and the 8 files deleted yesterday.
This was all done with your account.
Perhaps you’re confusing it with a different site? There are 2 other sites on your account here.

what do you mean I’m confused with other site?
I did provide the link above?I didn’t delete anything yesterday, the new editor didn’t show my entire journal created for many years, it only shows what I tried to insert like post .
how do I find the old editor?
I don’t see the settings?
Thanks

Yes, you did provide the link, but as I said:
“As far as activity goes, the only activity on that site were the 4 files deleted 12 months ago, and the 8 files deleted yesterday.”
If you really mean https://magicalex21.wordpress.com/ and you didn’t delete anything yesterday, then it sounds like someone has access to your account, because 8 files were deleted by you yesterday.
If that really is the case, then I recommend changing your password immediately: https://wordpress.com/me/security
However, I think you might just have that site confused with one of the other two sites on your account, because we have no evidence of the deletion of “at least 20 post and 50 pics” on that site, just the 4 files last year and 8 files yesterday.

I’ ve checked my pages: there are 4 menus, but when I click on the link, there are only 2 menus left.
-Under the menu “travel journal” I’ve written many things for many years, when I click on edit, there is only post of yesterday? what happens to the rest of the posts?
-what do you mean 8 files deleted?
-you didn’t tell me how do I find the old editor ? I don’t find the settings?

There is no “travel journal” menu at https://magicalex21.wordpress.com/
Instead, “Travel Journal” is a single page, it does not contain any pages itself.
We have no recent history of deleted posts or pages on this site. The last time a post or page was deleted on https://magicalex21.wordpress.com/ was 3 years ago.
what do you mean 8 files deleted?
I mean exactly what I said, yesterday you (or someone logged in as you) deleted 8 images from https://magicalex21.wordpress.com/
you didn’t tell me how do I find the old editor ? I don’t find the settings?

Hi,
when I c lick on edit of my page, there is “classic editor”
when I click on it :This post was previously edited in the Block Editor. You can continue in the Classic Editor, but you may lose data and formatting.
You can also browse previous revisions and restore a version of the post before it was edited in the Block Editor.Edit in Block Editor or continue to Classic Editor.
what I need to do here?
Thanks -
If you see that notice, you’re already using the Classic Editor.
The pages you’re describing still exist: https://wordpress.com/pages/magicalex21.wordpress.com
They don’t appear in the menu because they are currently saved as Drafts, they are not publicly published.

I click on edit, it only shows what I insert yesterday what happens to the contents before?
I just want to use the old editor, this classic is a block editor, it doesn’t show the old contents
Thanks -
If any content was replaced or removed, you can find it under the revisions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/
Changing the editor type won’t change whether or not the content is there.

where is the content gone?
please help to get it back
Thanks -
when I click edit under “travel journal” it went to classic editor without previous content?

Everything that was saved, you’ll find in the revisions. If you do not see what you expected there, I’m afraid you won’t be able to restore the content of that page/post.

You can see this page here: https://wordpress.com/block-editor/page/magicalex21.wordpress.com/154 – there’s an intro and what seems like a recent entry from June. There are 25 revisions for that page: https://d.pr/i/POS8IC which we encourage you to check out.
If what you’re looking for is not there, again, we can’t help you to restore it. -

HI,
Please answer to each question, this new feature drives me nut, I just want to edit under the old editor with simple HTLM.
I can see 25 revisions,The changes in each revision will be highlighted in blue (for additions) and red (for deletions):
1/ how do I keep the one in red, because they are my old posts.
2/ if I click “load” , will the red characters move back to the editor too? can I use the old editor?
3/ on my main page, there are only 2 menus instead of 4 ?
4/ how do I put back the 2 remaining menu : about and sports under “draft”?
5/ will I get my 4 menus back : about,Home, other pics, sports on the main page?
Thanks -
What you’ll want to do for 1 and 2 is restore the revision. Follow these steps specifically: https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/#restoring-revisions
3, 4, and 5. That’s because the other pages are saved as Drafts, they have not been published yet. You will need to publish the other pages.
