Hi, my website just went live to the public and I started getting new ads already but I went in the administration area and clicked on "orders" then on "Manage orders" and deleted everything by mistake so now my website is empty and that does not look good to new people viewing my site so I am panicking. Is there a way to recover the deleted listings? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Deleting order removes them from the database so they are gone.

This is not going to make you feel better but you will learn the lesson all of us learn.

Did you make any backups of your database and file system? If not why not - sorry to be harsh.

REGULARLY BACKUP your file system PHOTOS and THUMBS directories is a minimum and your DATABASE. These constantly change as adverts are added, modified and deleted. If the rest of your files do not change (you have finished developing) then keeping a fairly constant copy of the rest of your site normally suffices.
