Created a New theme that overwrote previously posted pages

  • While creating a new page I created a new theme. When I was done with the new page theme I pressed post and accidentally had the new theme posted to every page. Now all my previously posted pages have been replaced with this new one and I am not sure how to get my previous pages back. They are still there by name, but all the content has been replaced with this new them.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    if you have a recent backup copy of your website, you use use the backup to restore to a previous version if you made some theme changes that are undesirable.

    you could ask the theme’s support team for guidance as they are most familar with the operation of the theme. https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/hello-elementor/

    if you were creating your pages with Elementor Pro, you can ask the plugin’s support team for guidance: https://elementor.com/support/

    The theme is just a place holder for pages. The post and pages are stored impendent of the theme. You would have to destroy the database to get rid of all the post or the table holding the post. You should be able to look under your post tab in the control panel and find all your previous post. Create or delete a single post or theme template fill will not destroy all your post.

    You do not have any post on your site but you have a lot of pages. It appears that you are using elementor. You might want to ask this question in the elmentor section. elementor is a third party plugin so you would have to address the issue with them. You should be able to look at your pages from the control panel of your site. You can also go to https://nhcnazarene.org/wp-json/wp/v2/pages to get a json file of your pages.
