Multiple Posts Text Deleted
-
I posted a new post on my blog (https://erica2teach.wordpress.com/) today and noticed that the text from 3 of my previous posts from September 2016 is gone (specifically: https://erica2teach.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/jet-lag-and-the-time-difference/, https://erica2teach.wordpress.com/2016/09/15/first-ten-days/, and https://erica2teach.wordpress.com/2016/09/19/genocide/). The featured photo is still there as well as the tags and title but the text is gone. The comments are still there as well. I did not go in and delete it, I haven’t clicked on those older posts until I checked them today. Those posts are very important and I need that text. I checked the archive for my blog and they are not there either. How can I get that text back and not have this happen again? Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

Any idea why, if it autosaves every few seconds, is this huge a block of text missing??
Yes, my guess is that you are not using a desktop computer and not using the classic interface. I believe you are describing either a browser related issue or a connectivity issue.
Make sure you are running an up to date browser version found at https://browsehappy.com Try clearing your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and see the tips here https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

Hi there,
There are a number of previous revisions for the posts you mentioned, from 6 months ago until the present day. You can restore a past revision of the post using the instructions in this guide:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/
I can’t see any reasons why the text would have disappeared from your posts but I’ll ask our developers in case they are able to shed any light on this.
Thanks!

I managed to find some old revisions and retype them, but I want to make sure this won’t happen again–if you find anything please let me know.
Thank you for your help! -
Glad to hear you were able to find an old revision :) I’m looking into why the content disappeared and I’ll reply to you here when I have more information.
Speak to you soon!

Hi again,
I’ve got a quick question — do you use the new editor when writing your posts?:
https://wordpress.com/posts/erica2teach.wordpress.com/
Or do you use the WP Admin Dashboard?:
https://erica2teach.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Thanks!
