TOPIC: Restore Deleted category and the subcategories
#55575
Restore Deleted category and the subcategories 5 Months ago  
I feel like an absolute fool here. I was cleaning up in the backend of my fireboard. I mistakenly deleted to very very busy categories and all the threads therein. Is there a way to retrieve these?? Maybe out of the database perhaps?? Can someone help me.....this is a total emergency!!

I have joomla 1.0.12
and Fireboard 1.04

I am really in a bind on this.. as we have one section that has updates on Big Brother..etc.. with 24/7 live feed updates.. this is really really busy!!

I am editing this to clarify that I did not update my database prior to the deletion process in the back end of the fireboard. Why?? Because I am a complete dolt!! Is there a way to restore it to this morning??

Unless you don't have a database backup, there is no way to restore the content. When deleted, it is deleted Maybe you learned something from this mistake.

There is no way unless you have a backup.

I will add this for TODO on Fireboard 2. We should make sure people know what they are doing.

May I suggest JoomlaPack for database backup. Just installed it, and it works great.

Re:Restore Deleted category and the subcategories 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I was a freakin Idjet...I had a 2 day old backup... and used that. However, this is what I have learned... no matter what I do in the backend, especially if it is some type of deletion...even if a MONKEY can do it. I am backing up before hand... sorry about not getting back here to this thread and umm thanks for not calling me dumbo... when I truly deserve it....LOL

Thanks Peeps!

Editing to add.. that I already have the means for backup.. including joomlapack... and I still didn't do it...LOL

I just had my host do it.. I gave them the 2 day old backup and they restored it.

According to the linked thread you put, you did not remove the sample data before creating your categories and sub categories?? If you don't get a response, I would just start over and redo it... I know it is tedious but you may wait for a very long time, to get a response on this site!!

I guys! I am too on the same track!

It seems I have removed SAMPLE Data couple of weeks causing deletion of one category. Topic in that category is intact. But I cannot see the category.

I have db as well as complete site back up.

I will appreciate if someone help me to restore this category. How to update previous database? Which file? I really need help. It is scary and frustrating that one important category is missing.

Thank you
