That’s a lesson I’ve learned the hard way as well. I’m glad they were able to get most of your content back. I like your site by the way…very nice presentation and design!

Hi Kyle. Thanks for the quick reply. What I ended up doing was calling my host (HostGator) and the tech person walked me through applying for a site backup. They keep regular site backups on every Sunday. I got the site restored about twenty minutes ago thanks to their wonderful support team. Now I just have to go through and update everything I have done since Sunday (aiye).

Lesson for today – make regular backups of my site.

Doug, you simply take the content of your site (basically what’s in the body of the site) and recreate a HOME page then paste that. You’re not copying everything from the cache. Your header/footer should be when you create page again, so you just need to get the content. Does that make sense?

You said, “…gone back to Wordpress and pasted the code…”

Question: Pasted the code where?

I accidentally deleted my Home page (it was a page called ‘home’) and I found it cached on Google, but where do I paste all this?

There is also a wordpress plugin called “wp-db-backup”, it will send you backup copies of your database via email. Very useful just in case there is no Google cache to rely on.

Till then,

Jean

I’ve actually accidentally deleted my blog post before, I’ve no idea how to get it back, so I re-write it again, that was a bad experience for me and I’m trying not to repeat it again. Anyway, I learned something new today here.
Thanks Kyle!

Remote Office I’d be surprised if many web hosts actually offered this service for free. I’m sure a lot of web hosts try to charge for this as an extra service. When hosting a lot of websites it would be a lot of work to keep backing them all up.

I had no idea web hosts would take automatic backups for websites without you asking for it. That is a great idea to ask them for help — worst case scenario they say no. I’m going to email my host and see if they provide it free of charge and regularly scheduled. I assume the ones listed above Hostgator and Site5 do auto backing up at no extra charge and without having to ask for it?
