  Why did a post disappear? I posted recently (Banana chai “ice cream”) and when I logged into the app today it showed briefly and disappeared. It does not appear on my web page or as a draft. What happened?

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

  Hi there,

  If and only if the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be. See here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/21/wordpress-recovering-a-lost-blog-post-or-page/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  But if it was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.

  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.

  Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.

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

  P.S. I see the post right here http://amethystjean.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/banana-chai-ice-cream-2/ and if you do not see it then you do have a mobile issue.

  Thanks I learned a lot. I have since reposted it (that’s the one you see). Ah well. C’est la vie.

  Unfortunately, as you can see from the tag in the forums, this is far from a new problem https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/missing-post
