post dissappeared when I tried to publish it? :/
-
Post dissappeared. I was using the wordpress app. I was working on the article for weeks. I go to publish last night and it said uploading post. After 3 trys to upload I uninstall wordpress and then re install. My dear post I was working so hard on was gone. Along with a few other drafts. I went to wordpress.com on the browser on my phone and they were not on there either. Ive done some research about auto save? That supposedly saves your work every 2 mins. But how do I get to this from my phone? Or do I need to get on a desktop? Please help. This is devastating.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

See also if applicable > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash(If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)
If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.
I recommend:
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, save frequently.Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
Click “save draft” frequently when creating posts or pages.
Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

Please. This was not so helpful. I can not go to edit on the post I want to see the revision s for if the post went missing?

Thank you. This happened months ago aswell. And I was never able to get the post back. This is an insane blow to my happiness. I cant believe something ive worked so hard on just dissappeared. If I cant get this ppst back I am done. Its not worth the stress

I doubt you will be able to get the post back; it’s a known bug with the New Post button, unfortunately. That’s why TT and I always make posts from the Dashboard Posts->Add New page instead of the New Post button. We’ve seen too many people lose too much work.

Yes. But it says “To find the Revisions screen, you will need to go to the edit screen for the post you want to see the revisions for.”
I cannot go to the edit screen of a post that isnt there. -
You can go to your drafts and if it is not in there then it cannot be edited as you point out. If it is not in Trash then you have reached a dead end.

There may be another way. In some cases if you have not closed the original tab you wrote it in, you can back arrow to it.
-
It is not in my drafts. And I can not find post. All the work I have worked on is gone. I wrote it in wordpress app raincoaster. The pictures I attached to it are still in my media library. But I after searching for revisions and autosaves that seem not to exist. I cant find anything. Back arrow? How can I simply vlick buttons that you tell me to click to see a list of all the auto saves wordpress have saved.

I was working on the article for weeks. I go to publish last night and it said uploading post.
The only time one can use a back button effectively is when they have not logged out.That time came and went.
-
Is there someone I can pay or something to get this fixed? I mean it cant just dissappear
-
It’s gone and there is no means of getting an published post back when it is not in your drafts, and you cannot use a revision, and when it is not in your trash.
-
Why does this happen? I push publish and it deletes all my drafts and the post ive worked so hard on. How is this even possible?
-
Because there is a bug in the Quick Post function, which is used by the app and by the New Post button. Staff is aware of it, and have been aware of it for a year or so. I’m sorry this happened to you.
