  I can see my first ever blog post ‘Trek Planning’ on my main page, but when I click on the title to read it (both on the edit page and on the website itself) the post doesn’t show up. I don’t believe I’ve deleted it… but if I have how do i recover it? I can’t rewrite it as I can’t remember what I wrote! Or has something else made it disappear?

  Please help! Thanks, Olivia

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

  Hi there,
  I located the published post at https://livtoexplore.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/12/ Let`s see if you can find a post revision.

  The Admin login link for that site is http://livtoexplore.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  The saved drafts posts are found at
  http://livtoexplore.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  The saved draft pages are found at
  http://livtoexplore.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page

  Staff are currently working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/page-revisions/

  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  I recommend:
  1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
  If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

  You cannot deactivate the new editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.

  3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.

  4. 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.

  5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

  If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

  Hi there i’m still unable to find it, it’s not in trash and i can’t see where the revisions are or any buttons to restore it.

  Can you please tell me why it’s gone? I’m worried that my other posts/future posts may randomly disappear and I will be documenting my travels soon and don’t want to lose my memories! How can i get this blog back? :(

  Hey there,

  When I visit the post, I also see nothing, but I did find your content when browsing through your revisions. I’m sure reverting back to your last revision will get your content back. Take a look and let me know if you need any additional assistance.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  So, when you first visit the revisions page, the Retore this Revision button is greyed out You will have to move the circular timeline button back one, you’ll land on the most recent revision and the button should now be clickable.

  Let me know if this makes sense. I can make the revision on my end, but I want to make sure you see it before making that update.

  Thanks!

  Hey there,

  It could’ve been some sort of glitch or you may have inadvertently deleted the content and saved. I’ve done that a few times. I don’t think it is something you should worry about because I haven’t received many of the same issue. If it happens again though, let me know.

  Thanks!
