I'm missing a post I wrote a few days ago

  • Unknown's avatar

    I wrote a post “West Ham completes signing of Enner Valencia”. I just tried going to the article from the Facebook page I created for my site Facebook.com/OffsideGoal upon clicking the link I was told the page cannot be found. I didn’t delete it so I’m confused. Is there a way to recover it? The post isn’t in my trash either. I deleted the trash yesterday and this morning which had spam comments in it.

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

    Hello there. Could you please send me the link to your post as it was posted on your Facebook page? Additionally, what date did you create your post? I’ll look further into the issue for you. Thanks very much.

    Crispin, I am looking further into this issue for you. Can you tell me how you publish your WordPress.com posts to Facebook? Thanks very much.

    After posting the articles I copy the link and post it to Facebook.

    Hello there, Crispin.

    Our systems gurus have looked into the issue for you. It seems as if you may have “re-used” a post in order to create a new one. In the mixup, it appears as if you accidentally deleted the post you linked on Facebook. In the future, you may not wish to create posts in this manner. You can start fresh each time by clicking All Posts → Add New in your site’s Dashboard.

    The good news is, that although you did accidentally delete the post, our staff was able to recover the content. I pasted it for you in a new Post, that I entitled “Deleted post.” It is currently in draft form in your All Posts list. Feel free to use that content to create a recreation of the deleted post.

    You can delete the non-working link from Facebook, and after you republish your post, you can re-paste a link there.

    I hope this helps clear things up. If you have any questions please let us know! Thanks.

    Thanks a lot, I remember creating a post and I saw the featured image from the post being shown but I ignored it thinking it was an error. Never realized I copied the post by accident, plus I was having issues with Google chrome constantly crashing that day. Once again thanks

    Crispin! I’m really glad we could save the content for you. That’s not always the case! Thanks for following up — good luck with Chrome. Yikes!
