LOCAL DRAFTS DISAPPEARED FROM ANDROID APP
-
I typed a post and tried to post it but kept getting the error 401 notification and then the draft just disappeared entirely. I logged out and logged back into the app but there still wasn’t anything and I have no idea where to find it. If someone could please help me that would be awesome!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash(If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)
I recommend:
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links. -
First, thank you for your response but I tried looking under the support page. I am not shouting it’s called an attention grabber and the post never posted to my blog it just vanished after the error 401 notification. It is not in the trash, nor is it under the post section to be revised. I was using the Android application on my phone.
I appreciate your help but do you know of any other options?
Thank you -
It is not in the trash, nor is it under the post section to be revised.
Then it’s gone and I’m sorry to tell your that there is no means of retrieving it. :(
P.S. Typing in all capital letters in cyberspace is definitely called SHOUTING! and it’s rude. Yes you got my attention this time but you won’t next time. Many bloggers choose to shun threads that have titles that are SHOUTING! at them. I give everyone a single warning first.

You’re welcome and I’m really not a meanie, honest. I’m sorry you lost your post and I do think you ought to post to the Android forums so the developers are aware of the issue you experienced.
