  I finished a post and “published” it, but it keeps reverting to an unfinished draft version!

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

  Hi,

  Can you send me a link to the post in question (the address of the post editing page is fine) so I can check into it more?

  Have you had this trouble using other browsers and/or computers as well?

  Thanks!

  Here is the link to the edited and correct version: http://folkwaysnowadays.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1457&action=edit&message=5&revision=1531

  At least I hope the correct version is still there when you get there.

  I used both Firefox and Chrome. I deleted my cookies. And I also used both my Mac and my Windows laptops.

  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks Audrey. Wow, thanks for trying so many different ways. Were all of the attempts on the same Internet connection? What’s your ISP?

  Typically, I’d ask if there were multiple tabs open editing this same post. Have you noticed this happening on other posts or only that particular post?

  With your permission, revision 1531 is where it should be published? Can I publish it to see if I can duplicate this off of your system/connection?

  The content looks like this to me: https://cloudup.com/cDraSWAdXkQ If that looks good, I’ll publish on my end.

  Thanks for your patience.

  I Googled the issue and saw a few fixes, but they seemed more for WordPress.org blogs. I have Charter internet.

  This particular thing has never happened before. I had one tab open editing and one in preview.

  Revision 1531 is the right one. Please try to publish it is sort of time sensitive.

  Thanks again!

  Will do. I’m locked out since you’re in the post currently (and don’t want to presume to take it over from you!). Let me know when you’re out and I’ll attempt to publish.

  Thanks again for your patience.

  Howdy,

  It appear to have published without an issue for me: http://folkwaysnowadays.com/2013/11/27/creamed-things-on-toast/

  I’m going to log off for dinner, but will check back in tonight to make sure it stayed up. With the holiday, we’re officially closed, but many of our non-Americans will still be at it. I’ll try to check in but another Happiness Engineer may pick you up as well. :-)

  Cheers!

  Thanks for all your help. It did the same thing to you that it did to me. Posted the partial post then when I go to the home page and back again, it’s disappeared.

  Maybe I’ll try to copy and paste it into a new post and see if that works.

  Anyway, enjoy your dinner and have a happy Thanksgiving! And thanks again for you help!

  I think it worked this time. I checked the home page and it is there. I did just make a new post for it.

  If you don’t mind, please leave the haunted draft there and I’ll ask folks to use it as a debugging example to figure out what happened.

  I really am logging off now :-) Have a happy Thanksgiving!
