Draft not Autosaved

    WordPress claims that Autosaved saves your draft every 15 seconds and shows 25 revisions. However, I worked on a post for 2 hours, then when I finished I looked for a Save button and saw only the Autosave at the top. I tried to Preview and it wouldn’t go to preview. I tried from my dropdown menu, which took me to another page, and when I went back to my draft, only the first unedited paragraph from 2 hours ago was there. Only 3 revisions were saved, the first two being New Post with no info and the title.
    Where did my post go? Why was it not Autosaved? Is there any way to retrieve it? Thanks

    Hi there,

    We notice this happens when there may have been network issues with your internet. Do you remember experiencing any internet issues while working on the post? If the content could not be found in one of the revisions, it was most likely not saved, unfortunately.

    If you notice that your draft isn’t autosaving or you cannot save the draft, I would manually copy and paste your content to err on the side of caution. Apologies for the inconvenience. We’ll be sure to report this internally to see if there may be an issue on our end.

    Thank you!
