Deleted plugin Lost categories and topics

I know there is already a thread on this but i didnt see the answer i’m looking for.

I would like to know if there’s a way to restore the forum structure after an uninstall.   I recently had malware removed from my site by Sucuri.net then I manually deleted aand reinstalled all plugins. Now the categories and topics are gone. I was unaware that uninstalling deletes everyting as MOST plugins i use retain al their data and settings upon reinstall.  My question is..if they were removed due to an uninstall is there still a way to restore the structure and topics and categories ?  Will restoring my WP database from a backup restore the forum structure?

Hello @spyder0

Restoring a database-backup should restore your forum as well. Uninstalling the plugin removes all data and keeps no old trash behind. Usually there is no need why re-installing a plugin should be required. If you want to replace the files only, you can do this manually via FTP.

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!
