  My published blog post has disappeared. The link is https://susaweaving.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/weaving-is-for-everyone-how-to-build-a-cardboard-and-bamboo-4-shaft-weaving-loom/

  I published it yesterday and it had views and it was working fine. Now it has completely disappeared, it isn’t even in my list of published posts or drafts.

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

  Could you check the trash and see if you can restore from it?

  Hi I just wanted to add some more details. The post does not show up anywhere except for two places. Firstly, in my WPadmin view under “My stuff”. Even then if I click on the link to view or edit, it brings me to the same page with the message ‘OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND’.

  The second place I can see a trace of it is under my notifications where someone has liked the post. Again, if I click on the link there it’s dead too.

  There is no trash folder showing, so as far as I know that means it is empty. The post was definitely not deleted but thanks for the suggestions anyway.

  Ok just in case anyone has the same problem here is an update. I published another test post and the same thing happened, but I noticed that publishing the test had caused my original post to appear back in the dashboard. The link was still dead but I could now access the edit view. So I went to the categories and removed all category tags (had read somewhere they can cause issues sometimes). I then updated and the post now shows properly again! Hope that helps someone else in the future! :)
