You may want to rebuild the links.

I lost some links when updating a homestead website page and need to go back to retrieve the PayPal links. Where do I find previous page versions.

To find a previous version of your page and recover your lost PayPal links, the exact steps depend on whether you are using Homestead's modern WebsiteBuilder platform or their legacy Sitebuilder Plus software.

If you are using Homestead WebsiteBuilder

WebsiteBuilder logs auto-saves and manual save points automatically. You can easily roll back or view an older version to copy your PayPal links: [1, 2]

Open your website inside the WebsiteBuilder editor.
Click on the Manage option located at the bottom of the left-hand toolbar (or look for the history icon near the top right).
Select Save History from the menu.
A chronological list of your site's previous save points will appear on the left side, from newest to oldest.
Click through the previous save points to preview how the page looked at that exact time.
Once you find the version containing your PayPal links, click Open in Editor. You can then copy the PayPal button code/URL or restore that version of the page entirely. [1, 2]

If you are using Homestead Sitebuilder Plus (Legacy)

If your account uses the older Sitebuilder Plus software, there is no built-in page version history tool. Full page layouts cannot be rolled back via an archive file. Instead, use these external recovery methods: [1, 2]

Check the Internet Archive: Go to the Wayback Machine and paste your page's exact URL. If it was indexed prior to your update, click a recent calendar date to view the old version of the page. Right-click the broken button or link to see if the PayPal URL is still retrievable in the source code or properties. [1]
Pull the code directly from PayPal: If you can't find an older layout, your links aren't lost permanently. Log into your PayPal Merchant account. Navigate to Pay & Get Paid > PayPal Buttons > Saved Buttons. PayPal stores all previously generated buttons and code strings securely on their end so you can grab a fresh copy of the link to paste back onto your Homestead layout.
