  I posted on my blog 2 months ago, send the link to a couple of friends who read it and so I know it was definitely posted on the site at first.
  I went on today to write another post and there is no trace of this old one anywhere on my site.
  I did not delete it- no one else has access to my account.
  How on earth did this happen and is there a way to get it back?
  Surely it must be somewhere if it was once on there ?

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

  Hi there,

  Can you access the blog post from the link you shared with your friends? Can you let me know what do you see on accessing the link to your blog?

  If your blog post is not deleted, then it should be present on your website.

  Hoping to hear from you soon.

  Best,
  Khyati

  Hi there,

  Can you let us know the title of the blog post?

  Can you check if the blog post shows up in your dashboard:

  https://itime2teachprimary.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  And lastly, if it is somehow deleted, you may be able to restore the blog post using the Post Revisions feature:

  Let us know how it goes!

  Thanks,
  Gideon

  Hi there,

  It is impossible to help you if you don’t give us any information about the post such as its title or its URL. Can you please provide that information, then I can have a look.

  Thanks for the link. That post was deleted and removed from trash by your username yesterday at around 2PM UTC. If you didn’t delete it, then it was someone who either had access to your account or to your computer. I’d recommend updating the password for both your email and WordPress.com accounts as a precaution, and make sure you log out and clear your browser cookies after each session if you’re sharing your computer with anyone else/use a public computer.

  As the post has also been removed from Trash there’s no way to restore it any more. But it does appear that the post in still in Google’s cache, so you should be able to copy the content from there so you can publish it in a new post on your site:
