I was attempting to delete several generic pictures that were included in my media Library and I clicked on them to select them. Something malfunctioned. I saw one photo that was not selected. I selected it to try to delete it. The generic pictures from Bold Grid were untouched but my media library was deleted!!. How can I regain the images in my Media Library.
Hi Joseph,
Sorry to hear your images were mistakenly removed. Please check your “Trash” tab in the Media section of WordPress to see if the images are in the bin.
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard → Media → Library.
- Click on the “Trash” tab (if available) at the top. If your images are in the trash, you can restore them by selecting and clicking on the “Restore” option.
I hope it’s this simple. If the images are not in the trash bin you may have to restore a backup of your site uploads folder if you have one available. Your web hosting provider may be able to assist you with this. On your servers file system one place you should check is
/wp-content/uploads/and see if the images are still stored there. If the images are still in the folder, you can manually re-upload them to the Media Library.I hope this helps! Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer for you.
