  I wrote a post – saved it – it disappeared. Rewrote the post and saved it in Microsoft Word – then pasted it in WP and saved it in WP – it disappeared again. This has happened ten times in a couple hours. It’s a good thing that my second version is saved in Microsoft – but how can I get WP to work and save? Thank you for your assistance.

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

  • Copy link

  The Admin login link for that site is

  The saved draft posts are found at
  http://123hallelujah.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  The saved draft pages are found at
  http://123hallelujah.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page

  Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

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

  I recommend:
  1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > Add New and pages at Dashboard > Pages > Add New
  If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

  2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.

  3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.

  4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.

  5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
