  My post doesn’t appear after publishing. I shared a link on facebook and that link leads to an error message. When I log in to wordpress and go to my blog, the post doesn’t show up anywhere. I had a backup copy so I published again and the same thing happened. It can’t be browser settings because I have used the same computer and browser before to publish posts in wordpress. Some help?

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

  Hi there,
  Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
  http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  In case you need these instructions in the future I’m posting them now.

  You may be able to recover an earlier post revision. 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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

  If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

  If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Thanks for your help. I couldn’t retrieve it so I went to “New post” on my dashboard and posted it again. Hope it will not disappear again. :)

  I log in directly to my blog and create posts on the dashboard.
