  I published a post called “The Stalk of Sensimillia” That went through to the successfully published page but didn’t show up on my blog or share on twitter. It also didn’t save as a draft, even though I previously saved it as a draft prior to publishing. Can anyone help?

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

  It did share on my twitter feed but when I click on it it leads to the post that I published AFTER it. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me.

  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

  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/

  Advice:
  Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

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

  Nah none of that worked, there is an active link for it http://thebegissues.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/the-stalk-of-sensimillia/ but it doesn’t work. It just brings me to the wrong post. As I said This is the 2nd time this has happened to me and it hasn’t been resolved. Can I complain directly to wordpress about this??? I used the on the front page of wordpress.

  Weird that the link exists when I google search it and the google preview has the first 3 or 4 lines of the post but then it doesn’t exist. WTF?

  Hi there,

  I’m really sorry this happened to you. I think it’s very bizarre as well. I’m going to alert the internal team and we’ll see what we can dig up for you.

  Cheers!

  Also,

  I see that the permalink you have below is shown on your edit post page for the post it’s showing up with:
  https://thebegissues.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=727&action=edit

  Can you just confirm that this isn’t the post you wrote to go with that permalink? I assume you don’t typically edit your permalinks, in other words.
