  Hi. I had a blog on WordPress som years back, called andanse.wordpress.com, with ‘World Music top 100 albums’. I published 100 posts, but I have not kept the site alive the past years. Is there a way to re-publish the site and posts? Can I pay for this service?

  Hi,

  The site https://andanse.wordpress.com/ evidently has only three published posts (all published in March 2013). Is that the site you’re referring to?

  I’m not aware of a WordPress.com service that republishes posts for a fee. What I’d suggest is that you republish them one at a time over a series of days or weeks.

  Alternatively, if you’re not concerned about notifications going out to followers, then you may reschedule them as described in the Rescheduling section of the Schedule Posts & Pages support page.

  I’ve published 100 posts fra 2013 until 2015. Now there’s only three available. What I’m inquiring is if it’s there’s a way to retrieve the other 97 posts?

  Were the other 97 saved as drafts? Or deleted?

  Neither. They were published as normal posts – one each week during 2014 – 2015. I didn’t pay to keep my account, and that’s why I tought they were lost. I wondered if paying for my account, I could possibly retrieve my old posts…

  Perhaps your other .com site wasn’t ever hosted here at WordPress.com. The domain disappears after 2016 (and is now available to purchase again) but perhaps you could copy/paste some content archived in the WayBack Machine into your wordpress.com site?

  Hi there,

  I didn’t pay to keep my account, and that’s why I tought they were lost.

  We do not delete content on Free accounts. You can leave a free site inactive for many years and all the contents will remain intact.

  Also, on the site you mentioned (andanse.wordpress.com) I don’t see that many posts (97) ever deleted. I only see a few you deleted earlier today. This leads me to believe that the other site connected to your WordPress.com account (andanse.com) is the one that had those posts. That site was never hosted by us and therefore the only way to recover any posts is by using the WayBack Machine that @themagicrobot suggested above.
