Restoring a post or page from the WordPress trash is a straightforward process that can be done directly from the WordPress dashboard. This feature allows you to recover content that was previously deleted.
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to the "Posts" or "Pages" section, depending on what you want to restore.
- Click on the "Trash" link to view items that have been deleted.
- Hover over the post or page you wish to restore and click the "Restore" link that appears.
Additional Comment:
- Items in the trash can be restored within 30 days before they are permanently deleted.
- Restoring a post or page will return it to its previous status (e.g., draft, published).
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions to restore content if you are not the site administrator.
