Help! How can I find the draft I created on my WP App on the WP Website?
-
Hi, I created a blog on the WordPress app and I would like to view it on the WordPress Website before I publish it, but when I try to view the post on the website it’s not showing up. Is there a different way to get to my draft blog, other than going to “My Blogs”, like I do through the App?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Admin login link for that site is
http://nikemc007.wordpress.com/wp-adminThe saved drafts posts are found at
http://nikemc007.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postThe saved draft pages are found at
http://nikemc007.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageStaff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.
If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
re: recovering a lost post or page
Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.You cannot deactivate the new editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
4. 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.
5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

Thank you @timethief, for your prompt reply, but none of the options you gave me worked for me. I simply copied and pasted it to myself and am now going to finish it on the online web page rather than the WordPress App. I look forward to the changes that will be implemented, as I would appreciate the WordPress App being more in sync with the Website. Thanks, again. #KeepsCalmAndCarriesOn

Hi there,
What is the name of the post that you cannot find while logged into your website?
I’d be happy to take a look and see if I can find it for you.
Thanks!
