Auto Save
-
Auto save has not saved my draft for 5 days! the auto save was lighting up and I thought it was saving. Now my work has reverted to July 12th and everything is lost! I have looked at all the saves. How often does auto save actually save a draft?

You may be able to recover an earlier Post Revision. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/ Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post.
If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.
If you cannot locate the post by using the instructions I provided for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
Advice:
When you start a new post, add the title, set it to private and then publish it. When you are done with the post, set it back to publish and update it. The problem with posts disappearing when saved as a draft has been around for a while, but only seems to hit a small number of people randomly.The other choice is to get and use an offline blog client such as Windows Live Writer (Windows) or Ecto (Mac) and then everything is saved on your computer and when you are done with the post, you actually publish it directly from the blog client software. See here for offline blog editors so you don’t have to go through this again http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc

If you are using the Quick Post link from the Admin bar, Autosave does not appear to engage. It only works if you go to the Dashboard->Posts->New Post or if you go to your name in the admin bar, get the drop-down menu, and choose New Post there.

I was working on the one page for days and thought it was auto saving, it was in the new post. the auto save button was blinking. Is there any way it could be anywhere??

Did not save every 2 min!!
I have been working from the 12th of july to the 16th and it didnt auto save at all. I was online. the publish/save button was blinking as though it was saving. but the list of revisions only has saves from the 12th. Im going nuts here! I had a lot of research in that document and I would love to find it! obviously I will do things differently in the future!

I’m sorry this happened to you but there’s nothing that I can do to help you if you cannot locate a post revision. If there is no post revision that means the content did not make it into the database.
