Is there an easy way to retrieve a topic that has been deleted?

Thanks,

Hey fiddlerman,

Unfortunately unless you have a backup of your database with the post intact to restore, there is no way of restoring anything deleted.

I believe a recycle bin / trash is something we want to implement but there is currently no eta.

I have plenty of backups but what is the best way to put it back? I don't want to restore an older database.

I created a new topic with the same title and location which corrected the url. Then just needed to use a test site to recreate the posts. Not perfect but the SEO value of the post and it's links which existed for several years is preserved.

In a backwards kind of way, yes.

Good to know, and also good that you managed to preserve the SEO attributes.
