Please help with recovery of draft post!
-
I really hope you can help me! I think a particular post is cursed (or buggy)!
Two weeks ago I was working on a post in the iPhone app. Something didn’t sync & significant changes appeared to be lost. I accessed the post on my iPhone, iPad & computer over the next couple days (making no changes) but no luck.
Fast forward a week to last week & I go in prepared to rewrite & the edits miraculously reappeared! Last Monday or Tuesday I had the post almost ready to publish.
Last night I accessed to post on my iPad to add a photo & make some last changes. I start working but realize that my edits from last week are gone! I unfortunately had started working & saved the draft before realizing that my last part of the post was missing.
I’m really hoping you can recover the draft of this post. I don’t care if I lose the minor changes I made last night but I really need the version of the post from last Tuesday. It’s a very emotionally challenging post for me & I don’t think I can bring myself to rewrite it–I was literally shaken that day I almost finished it–I was emotionally exhausted but I think it’s an important post to publish.
If you can find it, it is called “If the dress fits; Or how I learned to love my post-miscarriage body.” The version I need recovered does not have a photo. I added the photo last night.
Thank you!

Hi there. The only place you can possibly find it is if you edit the post in the classic editor in your browser (WP-Admin dashboard ->Posts ->All Posts ->Edit) and look under the Post Revisions section: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/
If it is not there, then either the draft didn’t save correctly, or it has been replaced by later edits. In those cases I’m afraid nothing can be done to recover it.
I don’t work much with the app, but I know it doesn’t automatically save drafts to the web. The app saves drafts locally on your device until you specifically tell it to save to the web. If the missing draft version wasn’t waved to the web from you iPad I don’t know of any way to recover it.

Thank you &kokkieh! It worked! I knew I had been able to access revisions in the past but with the new design I just couldn’t get there. Strangely, the revisions reveal that the changes I had lost had been deleted & for some reason WordPress reverted to an even earlier version. I believe the app must be pasty of the problem, but I’m happy I recovered the post! Thanks again!!

I’m very glad to hear you could recover that draft. Next time you’ll know where to look :)
