  We published a blog entry earlier this week, and everything worked fine. However, even though the blog post is still live, nothing is showing up (neither text nor pictures).

  I have tried multiple methods for accessing the post, but nothing has worked so far. I have tried both Chrome and Safari browsers, and I have tried accessing the post on different computers. I have also cleared the cache on my browser.

  The other posts in our blog are not affected by this problem. The text of this particular entry doesn’t even show up when I log in to edit the post. Any help is appreciated.

  Here is the link to the specific blog entry: https://sjsuwritingcenter.wordpress.com/2016/03/24/ways-to-avoid-procrastination.

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

  Hi mhager,
  I’m wondering if there’s an HTML tag causing a problem. When viewing the source for your page, I don’t see any content. Can you perhaps paste in the HTML or text that you are trying to publish for this specific blog entry? That might tell us what is causing the issue.
  Sincerely,
  Bradley / fellow WordPress user

  Hi Bradley,

  Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I don’t have the text that I we published in this blog entry–it was written by another one of our bloggers. When I go in to edit the post, I don’t see any text there either. It’s as if the text and images have all been deleted. The starting text for the post as well as one of the images still shows up on our FB page (from when we originally shared it), but that seems to be all that remains!

  If there’s a problem with one of the images we included in the post, would it cause the entire entry to “crash”?

  Thanks again,
  Michelle

  Hey Michelle,

  You should, hopefully, be able to revert back to a previous version of the post. From what you describe, it sounds like your post was working correctly, but then maybe the content was accidentally deleted from the edit screen and the post was re-saved like that.

  Revisions allow you to look back at the recent changes you’ve made and revert to an earlier version if necessary.

  I suggest checking for a revision of the post. Here’s more info on doing that:

  I’m really happy that did the trick!
  I checked and confirm that the content is again available for the world.
  Sincerely,
  Bradley
