  I tried to search the forums for this topic but was unable to find it, although I’m sure other people have had the same problem… so, sorry for bringing it up again.

  I have a post that won’t post–every time I try to do so it comes up with the following error message: “An error occurred while saving the post.
  That method is not allowed.”

  I looked at the code and I don’t even see any
  in it. I tried taking out links and images, but nothing fixed it. Any suggestions about what I’m doing wrong?

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

  Provided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to your servers for your blog then I can help you with this.

  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 also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

  I recommend:

  Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New in the classic editor
  Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
  Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
  Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
  If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  Thanks– I did manage to get it posted; I guess maybe using the beep beep bop editor was not working for me, but classic seemed to do the trick. Appreciate the help!
