Important content is gone and there’s no version to restore.
Accidentally Deleted Content with No Revision
Key Points: You delete a page or block — and there’s no revision, no undo, no recovery. Panic sets in.
You were just cleaning up a sentence — and now the entire block is gone. Or you trashed a page without checking who else was working on it. Oops.
💥 How It Happens
- Auto-save failed or revisions disabled
- Editor bug while dragging or replacing content
- Emptying Trash before checking post revisions
🛠️ Recovery Options
- Check for revisions under the document panel (if enabled)
- Restore from recent site backup or local copy
- Enable revisions in
wp-config.phpusing:define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', true);
🧠 Pro Tip
Use backup tools with version history — and never edit long posts without autosave turned on.
