David N. Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 A user had an old account with a profile pic and made a new one without profile pic, I merged the two and now he has only the new one with no profile pic. What I wanted to do was merge both into the old account with the profile pic. Is the old account lost? Or is there a way to retrieve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawPi Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Why he can't just reupload old profile photo? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teraßyte Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It's always possible to just restore the backup in a different location (even locally), retrieve the photo, and upload it to the user's profile on the live site. As long as you're willing to go through with it just for a photo. 😋 David N. and DawPi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple google image search for the old user name on my website and I found it !! Thanks so much for the great idea. Dll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
