I use Wordpress as a CMS and was working on a website and needed a little snippet of code from my own websites style sheet. Accidentally I saved other the WRONG stylesheet and have lost about a months work .. I know Wordpress.com blogs have the latest 25 revisions of there pages and stylesheets but does anyone know if I can retrieve them from my own sites when using Wordpress as a CMS? Any help would be really appreciated! I seriously don't want to lose all of Februarys work!

Thanks guys!

  • Have you tried Google? I'm pretty sure this is answered somewhere. – Idris Feb 28 '14 at 22:11
  • I'm having a browse now. Fingers crossed. – user3357728 Feb 28 '14 at 22:12
  • Maybe you can try to recover it with your browser cache? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4560400/how-can-i-get-the-google-cache-age-of-any-url-or-web-page – lefoy Feb 28 '14 at 22:40
  • If you're using chrome, you can also try this: chrome://cache/ If you can find your file there, send me a message and I will show you how to recover it. It did the trick for me few weeks ago. – lefoy Feb 28 '14 at 22:41
  • I'm afraid I'm using Safari. I HAVE however used Chrome to work with the specific style sheet in the last few days, just not in the instance I lost all my work @lefoy any suggestions? – user3357728 Feb 28 '14 at 22:52
  • I didn't try it, but maybe you can give this a try? http://dgc.uchicago.edu/20130906/recovering-a-file-from-safaris-cache/ – lefoy Feb 28 '14 at 22:57
  • @lefoy ok I have a recent version of the page up on chrome://cache/ I see a lot of computer language Im not familiar with though, lots of numbers .. – user3357728 Feb 28 '14 at 22:59
  • could you please upload a small screenshot of the page you have in your cache? Is it multiple lines like this? `00000010: e0 04 f7 a0 15 52 2e 00 c8 01 00 00 48 54 54 50 .....R......HTTP` – lefoy Feb 28 '14 at 23:03
  • Thanks @lefoy I'll give that a go. What method did the trick for you exactly? Thats correct, lost of numbers, very similar to that! – user3357728 Feb 28 '14 at 23:03

    Thanks @lefoy its unfortunate I haven't restored all of my work but have managed to recover well over 80% of what was lost so I can happily take that as a win! Thanks so much, I really really appreciate it! – user3357728 Feb 28 '14 at 23:24
