Binned/moved posts to draft and now they are gone

    About a month ago, I binned a few of my blog posts and moved them to drafts but they seem to have been lost. I forgot to send one post to draft and it was still in the bin. So today, I moved it to drafts too but it also is nowhere to be found in the draft section. Kindly, help me find my work. It’s very important to me. Thank you!

    The site I need help with is thesoliloquyofanebulousmind.wordpress.com.

    Update: I realised that wordpress deleted my posts because they were in my bin for a month and moving the last one to drafts was just a site glitch. Please tell me how to get my posts back. I cannot afford to lose them permanently.

    Hi there,

    Moving to the bin and setting back to draft are two different things, yes, and any posts moved to the bin/trash are automatically deleted after 30 days. Posts that are simply unpublished continue to exist in the Drafts folder indefinitely.

    I’m afraid that once a post is deleted from trash there is no way to recover it any more.
