Missing Posts After Creator trial

  • Unknown's avatar

    I activated a Creator trial a while back and published several posts while it was active. At least 10, maybe more. The trial ended and now my blog is completely broken. Every post I published while the trial was active has disappeared. They aren’t in my dashboard, not in drafts or anything. Every category I created during the trial is gone. Every change I made to any text in any way was reverted back to how it was before the trial. This is insane to me. All of the changes I made and the posts I published have nothing to do with a paid subscription. None of that should be gone. Is there any way to get it back?

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

    I can still see my my activity from the past few weeks on the Jetpack app which of course includes when I published the posts I’m missing. There are also some activity notifications of backups made automatically that I have to upgrade and pay to have access to. I’m not going to pay to gain access to posts I should have access to in the first place. Please help.

    Nevermind, I thankfully found partial backups because I never type out my posts in wordpress, I type them elsewhere and then paste them into WP. But this experience has definitely not made me want to ever become a paid subscriber so lol!

    It was a trial for a limited time. If you want to restore your site, you must buy the Creator Plan.

    Yeah man, I don’t want to restore the site. I want the posts that I wrote. Those have nothing to do with themes and whatever stuff you have to pay for, they were just regular posts regardless of whether I have a subscription or not.

    When I activated the trial there was a warning that said I would lose any premium themes and other premium junk I was using after my trial was up, but there was nothing that said my actual blog posts that I authored would be lost. That’s hours of my work, my content. I didn’t use any premium stuff to create it, I only posted it on a premium theme and because I was not told otherwise, I was under the impression that the theme would just revert to default with my posts intact if I let the trial lapse.

    Anyway, I’m dealing with it on my own so as I said, never mind. I just forgot to mark this as resolved (even though it isn’t).

    A trial isn’t ment to build a site, it’s a limited trial. Creator plan sites on a free trial are deleted 7 days after the trial expires if not upgraded.

    I know what a trial is. I don’t think you understand my problem. Thank you but this is resolved.
