Missing post.

    I posted “To someone who shall remain nameless:” during the hour of 11PM to 12AM last night. It was published to my blog, and now it doesn’t even appear in drafts, trash, or posts. I checked out the other missing post topics, but nothing helped. I even tried looking for the revisions option, but it doesn’t appear in my drop down menu. Help?

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

    Hi there – I’m seeing that post here:

    http://rencullen.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/to-someone-who-shall-remain-nameless/

    Were you able to retrieve it somehow or did it reappear on its own? Just let me know if you still need any help.

    I had to go to a revision and reupload it.

    Thanks for the update.

    Originally, you’d said “I even tried looking for the revisions option, but it doesn’t appear in my drop down menu.”

    When you say “I had to go to a revision and reupload it.” would you mind describing in a bit more detail where you found the revision?

    I went to edit the other post I had made (it’s currently overwritten by the original), and discovered that somehow the second post had eaten the first. The revisions were located beneath the editing box, not in a drop-down menu, and when I clicked on the revisions, for some reason both posts’ revisions were included in the one post. So, I resurrected the first post, and it overwrote the second. I have no idea how this happened.

    Thank you for the details about what happened to the post. We are investigating some possibly related cases of post overwriting and very much appreciate your help.
