  I saved a draft of my post I was writing, and it disappeared.

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

  Hi Matt,

  I see a very recent draft in your Posts > All Posts page that was recently modified today. If you go to Posts > All Posts > Drafts you will find all your draft posts there.

  Unfortunately these would be the only drafts we have saved in our system. Sometimes drafts may not save if the internet connection is not stable. For future reference what you can do is set the post to private and click publish. Then when you are ready to publish you can make the post public.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hi Grace. I chatted with Jordan earlier today.

  There seems to be an issue with the WordPress update. When writing in this new dedicated space/area, instead of from the dashboard, it wasn’t autosaving. When I did go to save what I had written so far, almost all of my text disappeared. Jordan said he is looking more into this.

  Hi Matt,

  Oh it was from wordpress.com/post! I see – I have been caught up with your chat with Jordan.

  I’m glad he has been working with you on this – you’re in good hands. :)

  Yes, Jordan was very helpful. For now, I am writing using the old version within the dashboard.
