How to restore old posts of a website

singhlarry · Jul 24, 2023

Hi Mates,

I have a pretty old website [ 20+ year old]
I purchased it through an auction.

I have been working on this site from past 4 months. Added around 200 posts.

But when I was looking at the indexed pages, it shows around 12000 posts.

I want to recover all old data on my website without changing the code, theme, settings, etc.

I know 2 methods:
Wayback machine downloader
Archivarix

But so far i could not find any tutorial video on these two on youtube specifically for restoring the content. There are videos on restoring the entire website, which is something that I am not looking for.

Anybody can help me with this process?

Thanks

Hmm not too sure, you may want to ask the owner of that BST thread if they have such a feature.

If archives not have the data means, Make live also pages manually. Create the same permalink for each page with your own content.

Adding 12000 articles will take me years if i do it manually

In today's world, AI content is ruling the world, so I think it does not take a year. Also don't make contents for all pages you can add images or videos depending on the page title.

Then its really simple use the same content. Also if you change the content for that page is not affect your site.

In my experience, it is worthwhile to restore content on such an old domain. You can restore it from webarchive and use ChatGPT to make the content unique. This is more of a manual job - going through the individual pages in webarchive and reworking them in Chat GPT.

The key for expired domains is to keep the theme + old site structure.

Yes to get the most benefit out of it, i want to recover that data. But recovering entire 12000 pages is very challenging if done manually.

So looking for some automation.

Restore backup with CPenel

Hi folks

Maybe, you could try the Wayback Machine Downloader (I don't why the link doesn't appear). You will find it on Github & you will need to install Ruby first.
Or, you can try with wget.
