In my post, I show you how to recover deleted blog posts on WordPress, step by step.
After you delete a blog post, WordPress creates a ‘Trash’ folder. All removed posts are in this folder.
To recover deleted blog posts on WordPress, click on ‘Posts’ on your WordPress dashboard menu. At the top is a ‘Trash’ link. Select the ‘Trash’ link, tick the post you want to recover, choose ‘Restore’ from the menu, and click ‘Apply.’
Let’s do that step by step.

Conclusion
You have two options in WordPress to recover deleted blog posts. The first option is to ‘Undo’ your action, ‘Undo’ is available immediately after you delete a post or page. The second option is to recover your blog post from the ‘Trash’ folder.
The ‘Trash’ folder is at the top of your ‘All Posts’ page. Once you are in the folder, select the post or posts you want to recover, choose ‘Restore’ from the dropdown menu, finally click on ‘Apply.’
If you have deleted your posts from the ‘Trash’ folder, there is no way to recover them in WordPress. You have to restore your site from a backup.
