  I wrote posts almost everyday during the month of July ’14 and most of the posts are MISSING. I know I was having trouble with saving some of the posts so I copied and pasted the posts to a different app, but that was only 4 times out of 31 days.

  Where are those posts?

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

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
  See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

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

  I recommend:

  1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
     Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
  3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
  4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
  5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

  I had set my blog to private and haven’t looked in on it for a month. All my previous posts are gone! Even after setting my blog back to visible! I’m not sure what happened because I never delete my posts!
