How to Reinstate a WordPress Blog
- 1). Sign up for a new WordPress account if you have deleted yours. Alternatively, install WordPress on the domain that you want to reinstate the blog to if you self-host. Whether you use a custom URL or a free "myblog.wordpress.org" one, select a blog address that is identical (if possible) or close to the one you used for your deleted blog.
- 2). Log in to the WordPress Dashboard. Scroll to "Tools" and select "Import. Click the "WordPress" option.
- 3). Click "Choose File" and select the latest XML export. Click its name and select "Open." Press "Upload File and Import." WordPress notifies you after the import is complete.
- 4). View the blog in a separate browser window or tab to see your deleted blog, visible and reinstated.
