Blog disappearance
-
I posted a blog two weeks ago and came back today to update it and realized it’s gone. What happened?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

A blog is a website structured for interactive communication. This is a an example of a blog http://cianbeirdd.wordpress.com/
Do you mean a post or a page?
To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://cianbeirdd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash(If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)
I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. 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.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

Lovely. Well I did save the post as a draft several times, but once I made it live it disappeared. I need to find an app that does that job without hiccups. Thank you for the response.

I blog on a desktop and use the classic editor only so I don’t experience this issue. Sorry but I have no advice to offer re: apps.

In addition to the resources timethief pointed you to, it does appear you have one post in your trash, here:
https://cianbeirdd.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=post
Your blog’s records show it was sent to trash on November 7th. Was this the post you find to be missing? Or did you find the missing posts in your drafts?
Please let me know.
Best,

That is it. I couldn’t even find the trash on my iPad until you gave me the link. Thank you!
