    I lost a post while typing it. It simply disappeared, and I didn’t realize until looked up and saw that I was typing a partial word under the same post. The post is The Ranch. I submitted a request for help on the 20th and got a confirmation reply but nothing since. I was at the end of the post and am really frustrated. In the future I will have to use Word and then transfer it, but this was my longest, best post and I want it back. Please help

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

    You may be able to recover a post revision. Go to screen options on the top right hand corner of your Admin page and make sure you select these Modules.
    Posts – Post Tags, Categories, Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Discussion, Comments, Post Slug, Post Author, Post Revisions
    Page – Page Attributes, Recommendations, Featured Image, Discussion, Comments, Slug, Author, Revisions
    WordPress software has an autosave feature that saves every 2 minutes. Each time you click Save Draft or Update Post (or Page) a revision is saved.
    You can look the last autosave for Posts » Post Revisions
    You can look in the last autosave for Pages » Page Revisions
    Step by step process here > Recovering a lost blog post or page

    In the future you may want to use an off-line blog editor like Windows Live Writer as they provide a backup copy on your computer of every post and page you create on them and publish to your blog from them.
