Is anyone else having trouble with the WordPress app (for iPad)?

  Since yesterday, I’ve been blogging as usual… only to have the WordPress app change the status of my post after Publishing. Yesterday it randomly turned the new post back into a Draft; today, it deleted it altogether, and I had to rescue it from the Trash!

  I’ve also had Draft posts vanish entirely, which really is frustrating (especially trying to remember what I’ve written and lost!).

  I really have no idea why this would be happening, and suspect it’s a bug within the App… is it just me?

  Hi @druidcat,

  As @timethief mentioned, the best spot for app issues is here:

  However, I’m happy to help as much as possible in this thread. First, can you make sure you’re running the latest version of the app? The app was recently updated on 4/7/14.

  Regarding the Draft/Published switch, can you let me know a few details? Are you staring the post and finishing it on your mobile device or are you starting it on your desktop and moving to mobile? Are you attempting to schedule the post for a future date? If so, that is a known issue explained here:

  Please also let me know a bit more about the drafts disappearing (where you started the post, etc). That will help me to try to replicate the issue!
