  Hey everyone,

  I had around 25 posts on my blog and those have disappeared and I cannot find them anywhere. Please can you help me and see if those can be recovered? I haven’t deleted them at all but just wondering where they might have went. Is there a problem with the database table?

  Kind regards,

  Marian

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

  P.S. As I will be offline for most of the rest of the day I have tagged this thread for a Staff follow up.

  Unfortunately the trash is no longer shown. I had all posts on my phone as draft but the website never reflected the change. Had to reinstall my phone and now all the posts are gone. This is really so bad. Any chance where they might be?

  Trash icon not showing at all!

  Hi Marian –

  I’ll be happy to take a look behind the scenes to see if I can find your missing posts. Could you share the blog’s address? And the titles of some of the posts that you’re looking for?

  Hi lizarkoski

  That would be great if you can check them for me I spent a lot of time writing them

  Titles are:
  1) When life brings you down to your knees
  2) Love you loving me
  3) What you’ve been doing keep doing it

  Those are some posts I can remember. These were all saved as drafts online but those, as examples are not showing up anymore.

  Blog address is: shinninglanterns.wordpress.com

  Marian –

  Good morning. I’ll take a look now and report back with what I’ve found.

  Here’s what I’ve found –

  1. “When life brings you down to your knees” was deleted by your user account 2 years ago.

  I’m not able to find the other two posts by the titles, but, there were 2 other posts deleted by your account. It just looks like they didn’t have a defined title on them.

  With the 3 missing posts, that’d only bring the post title up to 7 on this blog (2 drafts, 2 active, 3 deleted).

  I am not able to restore the deleted posts. There are a few security recommendations that I have to help you keep your account secure.

  1. Change your password now to a strong and secure password that isn’t used for any thing else. https://en.support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/

  2. Enable 2 factor authorization on your account. https://en.support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/#two-factor-authentication

  3. When using a public or shared computer be certain that you’ve signed all the way out of your account before signing off the session.
