Can I revert my website to a version of it from a week ago?

  • My coworker went in and changed something and now the website is messed up in several ways. I am not a coder but is there a way to revert the website to an earlier version of itself? It was not like this earlier last week.

    -are you asking about restoring your whole website from a previous backup copy? (some webhosting plans offer a “one click restore” feature)
    -do you have a backup copy of your database and files from a time prior to the undesired change?
    -is undesired the change impacting only specific page(s) or post(s). you might be able to use a revision from the database. (I am not sure if your WP-Config.php file is set to save revisions)
    -was the change done to a plugin or theme?

    I’m not sure if I do. Where would I look?

    does your webhosting plan offer automatic backup copies? (contact your webhosting support team to ask)
    do you have a plugin installed on your website that creates automatic backup copies? (there are several plugins and services that create automatic backups)

    I do not see a plugin that does backups.

    Ask the support team of your webhost about any backup copies of your website they may have available from a time before the undesired change. (some webhosts create periodic site backups)
