Recovering lost draft

    I wrote an extremely long new post using the Beep Boop editor. During this process I previewed the draft a number of times. After completing the draft in the middle of the night, I decided to post it in the morning. When I returned to WordPress the next day my entire post was gone. How do I recover it?

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

    Before you do anything else, 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 a restore button does not appear when you start a new post, you can try checking for saved drafts at these locations:
    https://wordpress.com/posts/drafts
    https://wordpress.com/pages/drafts

    If you are logged in as the same username you were logged in as when you first wrote the content using the same browser and still cannot find it at any of the links above, it’s possible the content was never saved for some reason. I’m so sorry if that happened! We are working on an update to prevent problems like that from happening in the future.
