post disappeared

    I just completed a post using your short post format and when i published it there was nothing there but the title! I sincerely hope i don’t have to redo the whole thing. This is unacceptable.

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

  • Hi Annie,

    Can you give me more detail about the post? Do you either have the link to it or recall the title? For your latest “Fly Jamaica” post, I see there is an very similar (if not identical) one in the “trash” for your site ( https://anniepaulose.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=post ).

    Thanks for your patience and hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

    Yes, obviously i trashed the missing post and redid it because i’m trying to keep up with NoBloProMo which requires a post a day. As you can tell I’m not a novice at posting on WordPress, i was using the short new post feature, composed my post on Word then transferred it to WP, added photos, edited several times and hit publish. when i clicked on view post, lo and behold all there was was the title and the tags i’d placed on it. Unfortunately I hadn’t saved my Word file so had to recreate it. what puzzled me was that there were no previous edits saved that i could go back to. I’ve had problems with the short post feature and am going to avoid it like the plague in the future.

  • Thanks for the additional information. I’ll work on recreating the issue with the tool you used. Especially if you are posting from Word, I do suggest using the “old” long-form editor at https://anniepaulose.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

    Thanks for letting me know and hope you had a great weekend.
