  I seem to have lost my work, but cant find anything in the trash or any drafts or revisions, 1hr work has completely disappeared despite being autosaved as I went. Is there any way to recover it?

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

  What was the title of the post you were working on?

  It would have been something like “25-26 June: Tivoli / Hadrians Villa”

  Thanks

  We can’t find any trace of this post in our system.

  Which editor were you using specifically? The new block editor, classic editor, or an app?

  When I look at my options, the entry “Visual Editor” is checkmarked, so guess I am using that

  Hi there,

  Are you using the classic dashboard (https://simonseuropetriphome.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) or the new interface at https://wordpress.com/ ?

  Am writing another entry, the url for that is https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/simonseuropetrip.home.blog/155, so presumably the latter

  Thanks for the link. That is the new block-style editor. I’m not sure what happened to your post as my colleague mentioned we can’t find a trace of it.

  You could copy + paste the content of the post in to a note or word program just in case this happens again. The post would still need reformatted but all of your writing would be safe.

  Can you tell me what browser and version number you are using?
