  Hi,

  Yesterday I made a draft of a page I planned to publish in a few days and saved it using the “save draft” button. Today, the said page is unexistent…
  I had to clean my cache this morning, could that have an influence over it? Is there a way to recover it or do I need to rewrite everything?

  Thanks

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

  You may be able to recover an earlier Post Revision. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/ Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ (top right corner of your Admin page) to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  Yes, I know about the post revision but what I mean is that even though I edited that draft several time yesterday, today it’s totally gone.
  It’s not even in the list of all the pages.

  Ps: it’s a page, not a post

  Doh … I’m sorry re: the page revision not post revision bit. As I don’t know how to help you I’m flagging this thread for Staff attention. Hang in there. :)

  Well, I pretty much consider that page lost so it’s not too bad. I just wanted to know if there was a solution or a manipulation deleting the draft to avoid

  This has been happening for some time now and Staff are aware of the issue. All we Volunteers were able to come up with is to create a post and make it private after typing in the title. Then complete the private post and change the setting to public when you are ready to publish it.

  Are you running AdBlock? See here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editor-3?replies=5#post-911462

  I am indeed runing adblock but it’s deactived for wordpress.com or similar
  And yeah, I though about the private publishing too for the remake of the page

  Thanks

  I checked the thread you linked about adblock’s trouble on the editor and even when wordpress wasn’t on the whitelist I never had that issue
