Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Archiveo helps you bring archived content back to life.

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

  • Enter a domain or archived URL
  • Archiveo retrieves available archived pages from the Wayback Machine
  • Filter and browse the list of archived URLs
  • Choose a page and create a WordPress draft
  • 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.
