  I saved draft as I went–and WP saved it automatically for me–and I can’t find what I wrote. Two days’ work lost.

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

  Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

  Hi there,

  I don’t see any saved drafts on your site. Were you creating the post in a browser, or in a mobile app? Note that the mobile app saves drafts locally, and drafts created in the app won’t show in your dashboard in a browser until you sync it.
