Losing my post

Posted by: concon86 on: June 5, 2009

Due to my own stupidity I accidently deleted a post I made in May 1 labellled Love for Video Sites. It was about how much I love Youtube and how it revolutinized how we view our entertainment today. Anyways I tried everything to restore my post to no avail. I wanted to cry, there is no way you can auto recover a post in WordPress. So I tried to Google a solution (which may work for you but did not work for me).

Google cached

What you can do is

  • go in the search bar of Google and search for your entry
  • you may be able to see it and press on the cached on the Google search
  • it will lead you to your post
  • copy it and paste it to a blank document
  • put it back as a new post

When you do this your pictures or videos will not be uploaded anymore so you have to reupload your picture and search for your video again.

Firefox Cache

Another way you can do it is by using the Firefox cache

  • First go on your address bar and type in “about:cache”
  • When you press enter you will get to a screen where there is “Memory cache device” as a heading
  • Under this heading press “List cached entries”
  • Search for your entry
  • When you press on the link it will give you a bunch a nonsense text
  • Copy and paste it to a notepad document
  • erase all the junk except for the html code
  • Find the blog entry and copy and paste
  • Put it in your blog as a new entry

I personally tried both. I could not find my entry on these two methods so I gave up, but these method may help for you.
