  I started a blog on my WordPress mobile app, but now I can’t find the draft on WordPress. It is still on my phone though. Is there a way to get this draft on the WordPress site on my computer, so that I can finish the post? Thank you!

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

  This is my understanding of this from following the “Beep Boop” thread:

  If you’re using the new “Beep Boop” editor (which you probably are since it’s the new default), your work is no longer saved on the WordPress server but in your browser. Which means you can’t automatically start editing on one device and finish it on another.

  I believe what you have to do is hit the Preview button, which will then save it on WordPress. Then you can edit it on another machine.

  Yes, this is stupid, but the WordPress programmers don’t seem to agree.

  Again, this is my understanding of what’s happening. I don’t work for WP so I can’t tell you for sure, but if you check the Beep Boop thread in the Forums, it’s been addressed there.
