  I saved a blog post yesterday and when I logged in today it is completely gone! Can someone help me?

  Hi There,

  Have you checked the All Posts page and checked under “Drafts” or “Scheduled” or maybe even “Trash”?
  WordPress uses an autosave feature that saves every 60 seconds on a draft and as you work along. If you do find the post under drafts, click edit and you might get a message saying “The backup of this post in your browser is different from the version below.” if you click restore backup it would allow you to restore the autosave!

  Goodluck! Let me know if this helped :)

  I am having the same problem. Multiple drafts that I have been working on have suddenly vanished.

  Hi @mainihi !

  You could check out the support documentation on post revisions here too:
  https://wordpress.com/support/editors/page-post-revisions/

  They have a few troubleshooting steps at the bottom that might direct you better to find lost content! It has certainly helped me :)

  Thanks, although in my case the entire blog posts are gone. I always make sure they save before closing the one I am working on and opening the next one. Since the articles I am writing do not appear to have been deleted or trashed, it doesn’t look like there is a way to restore them.

  Hi @mainihi,

  I’ve already replied to your post here so let’s keep in touch there.

  
  @rosatwinkletoes, what’s the address of the site you’re working on, and what was the title of the lost blog post?

  Thanks for trying to help, but I think its a lost cause. One of the missing drafts was called – Updates, Quotes, and photography, I went over the problem extensively with support yesterday and there doesn’t seem to be a way to recover the drafts.
