Disappearing Content
-
Hello,
Problem post: https://taletold.wordpress.com/2018/07/06/by-an-idiot-episode-6-in-the-stars/
My sister wanted to read one of my posts, however when she opened it, the post lacked any content. Checking up on this, I found that all the tags were there, the featured image was present, but the 7 or more paragraphs that accompanied these there were not. I know they were there as I had previously had a comment from another blogger, which can still be read.
Thankfully, I have the post backed up, but I am concerned with this disappearance. I have left the post as is for now, but plan to update it eventually with the missing content reinstated.
Sheldon
P.S.
The email sent out for this post contains the missing content as well, so I’m not insane. Well. . .The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It looks like the content of that post was deleted just before it was published, but I can see an earlier version containing your content in the post revisions, so you should be able to just restore that revision and update the post:

Thank you. That’s an angle I haven’t explored. However, I have the email that was sent out when this was published, and it has the missing content. So, at some point it was published correctly and changed.
From what you’ve told me, I’m guessing somehow the post was edited after publication and accidentally deleted.
Thank you for that insight.

Hi Sheldon,
We’ve had a few reports of this so I do want to look into it to make sure if there’s a bug in our system we get it resolved.
To help us in that regard, do you remember anything strange or out of the ordinary when writing and publishing that post?
