  I spent two hours writing a post on my site. It saves automatically.. Then when I clicked on publish all the words are gone. Only the pictures remained. 2 freaking hours of writing completely vanished without a trace.

  This has never happened before and I’ve been using WordPress for 2 years. This is not even a question.. It’s a rant.

  2 freaking hours of writing.

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

  First of all, check the Revisions module in the Editor to see if you can recoup the last revision before you published it. If you don’t see the Revisions module, make sure it is enabled in the Screen Options in the upper right hand corner of your browser window in the Editor.

  Just a note – I don’t trust the automatic anything – I manually save early and often, and even doing that I have lost information for some reason. I just make it a habit to save every few minutes.

  Sorry about the loss,
