  I was writing a blog post for my fashion class and I consistently saved everything I wrote after each paragraph and after finally finishing it all, it’s gone. It was in my drafts and saved and now it’s gone. With only the title there. I had images and information saved on it and it’s due in 2 hrs. I was using the app but even on the computer it’s gone

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

  Hi emanisindividualaesthetic,

  It was in my drafts and saved and now it’s gone. With only the title there.

  There is a draft version of a post called Our first drawing lesson 6/10/17 which only contains a title. However, I can see there are multiple revisions of that post with text. A previous revision can be restored by following these steps:

  Let me know if that helps.

  Hi emanisindividualaesthetic,

  No problem, I can talk you through it:

  1. Go to the post editor: https://wordpress.com/post/emanisindividualaesthetic.wordpress.com/35
  2. Click Post Settings at the top right (screenshot)
  3. Click Status
  4. Click ’12 revisions’

  The ’12 revisions’ link will take you through to a page with each revision — use the arrow at the top to scroll through and then click the Restore This Version button when you find the one you need.

  Let me know how you get on.
