Thanks Jamie,
I did set set the status to 1, then under /admin/config/development/performance, cleared all caches.

I then had to go to the content section and go through each post setting the test format again, but by that stage I was just relieved to have them back so that's cool :-)

Thanks a lot for your help.

If you got PhpMYAdmin, you can reenable them right in the filter_format table. Just set the status column to 1 and then clear your site's cache.

Hi,

I disabled a text format in drupal 7, and seem to have lost all my articles. Is there a way to reenable this and get them back?

Having gone through the disable one more time, I did read it a bit more carefully this time, and it does say:

Disabled text formats are completely removed from the administrative interface, and any content stored with that format will not be displayed. This action cannot be undone

I have a bad feeling about this, but surely a disable button implies, there's an enable button somewhere too?

Thanks for any help.
