Restoring a page

[Blackmajik]

Hey guys,

I messed up one of my pages on shopsite and I just need to restore only that single page. Anyone I can do this? i checked and we backed the site up about a month ago but I can find where to only get one page from, i cannot restore entire database or well lose so much work over the past month since the last backup. any help would be so great!!!

Backup and restore only work with the entire database. There is no way to get a single page from a backup of the database.

Did you perhaps upload the data for the pages through a tab delimited upload? If so and if you have the original upload file you could extract that one record and re-upload it.

Do you still have the resulting html of the page on your site? If so you could at least copy the text parts and use those to help reconstruct the page in the backoffice of the store.

what happened was i did edit page content and it had a bunch of php on it then i clicked the little editor link above the text area because i wanted to enlarge the area to edit the code and when you use the editor with php it transforms the php into gobbldygook. all the php stuff is now transformed into crazy ascii stuff and just ruined the whole page and i hit save without noticing the php got ruined. thats what im doing now is reconstructing its just a lot of work right now. teaches me i guess to always backup even the little stuff on my own.

You could also try asking your host if they have a more recent backup of your ShopSite database. We keep 5 days worth of backups for our clients, so we can easily restore pages/products for them if they need a more recent backup restored.
