Draft deleted from website.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Dear WordPress People,

    I recently wrote a post and hit the button to post it. The website then asked me if I wanted to restore a draft and I said ‘no.’ It then deleted my post. I can’t find it anywhere! Not trash or drafts. Please help!

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

    I’m so sorry but if you said no to restoring the post and that resulted in a blank post and you also did not save the post separately as a draft before that, then you may have inadvertently deleted the saved draft.

    Can you tell me the title of the post you were writing or a little bit about the content such as a sentence or phrase that was in it? I can use that to help by double checking in a separate search just in case it got saved somewhere unexpected by mistake. If I can’t find it in a search, then there may not be a way to recover the draft in this case and I’m really sorry if that turns out to be what happens!

    Thanks for the reply!

    It was about Gamestop hiring 28,000 people.

    Either way, thanks!

    Why would it do that? I just wrote the entire thing, why did it ask to restore it?

    Thanks for the extra detail. I looked around and couldn’t find the post. I’m so sorry it was lost! Hopefully it won’t be too much trouble to re-write if it is still fresh in your mind.

    I’m not sure! It’s really hard to tell from just a description what might have happened in your case. I know it doesn’t help you this time around, but we are working on some changes to the editor and autosave is one of the features that has been re-written to work better—the changes are currently in testing.
