Have you ever made a change in WordPress and realised that you edited the wrong section, or something went wrong. Maybe you converted your Classic Editor Post to the new Block Editor, but you weren't happy for whatever reason, and you want to revert the changes? If yes to any of these, then this training is for you!

You may or may not be aware that WordPress actually stores all of the different versions of your Pages and Posts when you click Save or Publish. WordPress also keeps autosaves while you are editing. You can undo these changes or restore a previous version by reverting to an earlier revision.

If you are using the Classic Editor instead of the Block Editor, please use the training below

I tried this today but it did not work for me. I believe it was because my post was created in Elementor. I clicked on the'restore this revision' but nothing came up and I could not do any editing.

A very useful reminder thanks. I have panicked in the past, forgetting about the historic versions.

Very good to know. I have been in this position in the past and I did not know how to revert back to a previous version. This will be very useful.
