Deleted post content!
-
Hello! Please help! The content for one of my posts has completely disappeared minus the title, caption and cover photo. I didn’t even edit it/go on it today. All I did was link it to my most recent post. I don’t have back ups of my articles as I write directly on the blog platform and haven’t backed them up/printed them out. Is there any way to recover the article? The ruined one is here: https://voiceofsalam.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/spain-why-is-one-acceptable-and-not-the-other/
Many thanks,
ElizabethThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

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/

Hello, thanks for your reply. This is an old post. I’d not even touched it. I always make sure I save drafts etc regularly but I’d not even gone onto it at all today. I was just looking at my blog and noticed it showed none of the content for this post. I went onto view and it was blank.

I thought that’s what I did. Gah I just want this sorted out and it’s all complicated :(

It’s not even my fault and a whole post is missing. The time and energy spent on this I’m so upset

Hmm it says I’m subscribed and will be notified by email. Last time a staff member (I think) replied and it was quick :) Thanks for your help

Take a look at the post revisions here:

And restore the most recent one that is undamaged.
