All my pictures have a ‘Permanent Delete’ button next to them and I can’t undo it? Why? Also, I worked on a blog post for 3 hours, on the VA murders, and it disappeared.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Where are you seeing that? It’s normal to see a permanently delete link in your Media Library. If that’s not where you are referring to then will you provide a screenshot for Staff please? You can use http://snag.gy/ to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

re: recovering a lost post or page
Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://bonnierussell.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postTo locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
http://bonnierussell.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageIf you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

Hi there,
All my pictures have a ‘Permanent Delete’ button next to them and I can’t undo it? Why?
You have the option to delete images and other media from your site, so you’ll see a link to delete any image permanently when you’re looking at what images are in your site’s media library. The images aren’t deleted unless you click that link to delete them.
Also, I worked on a blog post for 3 hours, on the VA murders, and it disappeared.
I see a recent blog post you published here:
Murder, Media, and stock values, on the killing of Alison Parker, Adam Ward
If that isn’t the post you’re looking for, please let me know as many details about that other blog post as you can remember (for example, the title or the contents of the post or a link to the post) and I can investigate that for you.
