Restore an earlier WordPress post with Revisions safely<\/h2>\n
\n

Exercise goal: recover a deliberately damaged test post without copying the entire page from elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites: permission to edit posts and at least two saves. Keep a normal site backup before practicing.<\/p>\n

Create a test post, write three recognizable paragraphs, and select Update to create a revision for comparison.<\/p>\n

In a second edit, deliberately remove the middle paragraph and change the title, then select Update again.<\/p>\n

Open Revisions from the post settings. If it is absent, you may not have enough revisions or the post type may not support them.<\/p>\n

On the comparison screen, move the slider one step back and match the added and removed colors to the actual text.<\/p>\n

Choose the version containing the missing paragraph and run Restore This Revision.<\/p>\n

Return to the editor and verify the title and all three paragraphs, then open the public page.<\/p>\n

Manually reapply only one useful sentence from the newer version. Restoring a revision replaces the saved content rather than one selected line.<\/p>\n

Do not confuse an autosave with a revision: autosave is temporary protection, while revisions are saved states you can compare.<\/p>\n

If the site uses page caching, clear that page after restoration so the public view does not show stale content.<\/p>\n

Success check: the editor and public page show the intended version, and you can explain the differences before restoring.<\/p>\n
