Overview
If you've deleted a page and purged the page either by emptying the Recycle Bin or using the Delete button from the Recycle Bin page, then that page is permanently gone and cannot be restored. You can only restore the pages if you haven't purged the pages beforehand. Your only option to retrieve and re-implement the page contents would be to import the page from a backup using the Import/Export tool.
Solution
After a page has been purged via the Delete button in the Recycle Bin, DNN removes the page from your site and database. The page cannot be restored outside of importing the page from a copy or backup of the site.
Warning! You cannot undo an import. Back up your site and database before proceeding.
If you have another site where this or a similar page is present:
- Export your site using the Import/Export tool.
- Use the Pages In Export feature to only export the page you need to restore.
- Place the exported file in your [SiteRoot]/App_Data/ExportImport folder
- Follow the directions in the article Importing a Site to import from the file.
- Ensure during the Import Summary screen that only the necessary pages are being imported.
If you do not have another site where this page exists:
- You will need to find a backup of the site before the page was permanently deleted.
- Restore the site with the backup by setting up DNN in a separate environment.
- Export your site using the Import/Export tool.
- Use the Pages In Export feature to only export the page you need to restore.
- Place the exported file in your [SiteRoot]/App_Data/ExportImport folder
- Follow the directions in the article Importing a Site to import from the file.
- Ensure during the Import Summary screen that only the necessary pages are being imported.
