How can I edit a scheduled post?
-
I scheduled a post for February 14. Where can I find it to edit it before publishing?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
If you are in your wp-admin dashboard, go to Posts->All Posts you will find your scheduled post in the list. Click to edit as usual and after making your changes, click Update.
If you are in the new dashboard, click on Blog Posts. Along the top of the screen there will be the options: Published, Drafts, clock icon, trash icon. Click on the clock icon and all of your scheduled posts will be there. Click on the post you want to edit. Then edit and update your post.
Good luck

Thanks, but it looks as though my post was never saved as it does not appear in either of these places.

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 the servers for your blog you may be able to recover a lost post or page.
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.

If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. 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.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ -

I apologize for duplication. There was a delay when it came to the software posting my first comment. :(

Thanks for so much good info. I think I was using the Beep Beep Boop editor so the post is gone.

That’s so sad. :( That happened to me long ago and I never use that beep beep boop editor now. I use only the classic editor now.
