If a website or blog is no longer available, Archiveo allows you to browse its archived pages stored on the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) and import selected pages directly into WordPress as drafts. The plugin is designed for careful, manual recovery of content — nothing is published automatically, and you always stay in control. Archiveo works entirely inside the WordPress admin area and focuses on simplicity, transparency, and safety. ### What Archiveo Does * Finds archived HTML pages for a given domain or URL * Lets you browse and filter archived URLs * Creates WordPress drafts from selected snapshots * Preserves readable content while removing navigation, scripts, and clutter * Works with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) ### What Archiveo Does NOT Do * It does not scrape live websites * It does not bypass paywalls or access private content * It does not automatically publish posts * It does not guarantee copyright compliance Archiveo only accesses publicly available snapshots provided by the Wayback Machine. ### Typical Use Cases * Recovering articles from a lost or expired website * Rebuilding a blog after a hosting or domain failure * Migrating old content that only exists in archive.org * Researching or preserving historical web content * Educational or archival projects ### How It Works 1. Enter a domain or archived URL 2. Archiveo retrieves available archived pages from the Wayback Machine 3. Filter and browse the list of archived URLs 4. Choose a page and create a WordPress draft 5. Edit, review, and publish manually if appropriate ### Important Notes on Responsibility Archiveo is a technical tool. You are fully responsible for ensuring that any imported content is used in compliance with copyright law, licensing terms, and local regulations. The plugin does not verify ownership, permissions, or legal rights to the content. ### Requirements * WordPress 5.8 or newer * PHP 7.4 or newer * Block Editor (Gutenberg) ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress installation. 2. Activate the Archiveo plugin. 3. Open the Archiveo page from the WordPress admin menu. 4. Enter a domain or archived URL to browse pages preserved in the Wayback Machine. 5. Select the archived page you want to restore. 6. Archiveo creates a draft post from the archived content. 7. Review and edit the draft, then publish or save it as part of your blog. ## FAQ ### Does Archiveo publish posts automatically? No. All imported content is created as a draft. You decide what happens next. ### Does it scrape live websites? No. Archiveo only works with archived snapshots provided by the Wayback Machine. ### Can I import an entire site at once? No. Pages are imported one by one to give you full control and avoid accidental misuse. ### Is using archived content legal? That depends on the content and your rights to it. Always ensure you have permission to reuse the material. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/63b1220b05b43910947183ddb0496b14e9f489452316782a3f5370c17c319e2e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It is a great start](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-is-great-start/)󠁿 [AbuOmar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abaumar/) May 20, 2026 2 replies Hi guys, Thank you very much for the great plugin. I’m facing a challenge where: if the page URL was not in Latin alphabet then the page URL became unreadable which means I need to open (create a draft for) each page to be able to decide if I wanted to keep it or not. An example is like this: example.com:80/%D8%A5%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8% B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B8%D9%85%D8%A9/%D8%A5%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8% A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B1%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%81%D8%B3%D9% 8A/ Any idea how to overcome this challenge? Kind regards.
