  I had a draft post ready to finalise editing and I go on and most of it has been deleted, with an ‘Attempt Block Recovery’ message in lieu of my paragraphs. Attempting recovery does nothing, so, WordPress has just deleted a large chunk of my work?

  Any fix to this, I can’t keep pretending as though this abysmal blocks system isn’t pushing me to look elsewhere for a hosting site…

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

  What is the title of the draft with the problem?

  “PTA Essential Tracks”

  I’ve reconciled a few parts of it by re-writing/editing again, but it’s taken me far longer than it should due to the blocks system being so horribly unintuitive.

  I see a few revisions under that post. Is it possible one of them has the lost content? https://wordpress.com/support/editors/page-post-revisions/#restoring-revisions
