How Do I Recover A Lost Post?

    I have overwritten a blog post with blank data because I used an offline blog-poster and thought I was creating a new post from an old one like a template.

    Wrong!

    I have a backup I made from cpanel that has this post in the mysql dump.

    Can I simply use PHPMyAdmin to import the SQL dump file back into the database or should I just kiss that post good-bye?

    The cpanel dump file does drop and recreate tables, right?

    yes.

    phpmyadmin will easely do the trick :)


    Or you can open the dump in word, and search for the text of the post you made, and copy / paste to a new post
