  I wrote out a long post earlier today before work and hit ‘saved draft’ so I could come back to it. Now I’m trying to go back to it and it’s saying I have ZERO saved drafts. I put a lot of work into it, if it’s gone for good that will be very upsetting.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Copy link

  Before you do anything else, 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 a restore button does not appear when you start a new post, you can try checking for saved drafts at these locations:
  https://wordpress.com/posts/drafts
  https://wordpress.com/pages/drafts

  If you are logged in as the same username you were logged in as when you first wrote the content using the same browser and still cannot find it at any of the links above, it’s possible the content was never saved for some reason. I’m so sorry if that happened! To prevent problems like that from happening in the future, make sure to click the “Save Draft” button often.

  If you’re still having trouble and you can tell me the title or a phrase or snippet of the text from the lost content, then I can try a search to help make sure we’ve checked everywhere possible for it.
