Blog won't stay published
-
Blog crashed. I published a blog this morning and then it disappeared. I can’t get it to publish again.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you please provide a bit more detail about this? Do you mean that you were in the process of publishing a post when your blog crashed and now you can’t find the post you had written? Or do you mean that you have a draft and you can’t get it to publish from draft?
Can you link me to the specific draft you’re having problems with?
-
No I published it. It was being viewed/shared/ commented on… And then it disappeared. The links that had worked fine stopped working and the blog was gone. I had to repost as a new blog. Any way to prevent that or know why it happened?

Is it the Regarding Women post:
https://shelaughsblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.phpIt looks like there’s an earlier version of that post that’s in draft now, rather than published. Is that the post that went missing?
-
Yes. This was saved last night as a draft. This morning I edited and published it. It was live for about an hour or so and then it was gone. I could retrieve the unedited version that you see but I could not publish it. In order to publish the blog again I had to make a new post.
-
I also could not edit and save changes. Every time I tried to save the draft it reverted to the original.
-
That’s very strange. Can you please try publishing it now:
https://shelaughsblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1333&action=editLet me know what happens when you press Publish. You can put it back to draft afterwards, so you don’t have a duplicate on your site.

The fact that you couldn’t press publish was likely some unrelated browser glitch, but the post shouldn’t have reverted to draft in the first place. If you have this problem again where a published post reverts to a draft, please leave everything as is, and reply to this thread so I can take a look.
If you have the ‘can’t publish’ problem again, please open up another browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, and try to publish your post from that browser — if it works there, then that narrows down what could be causing it.
