retrieval of lost drafts
-
I started a new blog and wrote 2 drafts. I think I pressed the publicize button. I lost the 2 drafts. Appreciate any help on how to recover them. There is no Revision Button in my selected theme.

Could you visit this link and see if you can find your drafts: https://wordpress.com/posts/drafts/septemberroadmap.wordpress.com/

You will find your drafts in the WP Admin here: https://septemberroadmap.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post if that is what you meant by “other blog site”.

I wrote about 12 drafts on my Android smartphone. Can still see the titles and first sentence, but none will open.
Error message “An error occurred when loading the post. Refresh your posts and try again.”
Have closed the app. and re-opened. No change. 12 drafts – lost?
Cannot view at all on my PC.
Please help. -

Could you share your site’s address so I can provide you the link to your draft’s folder?

Thank you for your reply.
The address is
https://antea42.wordpress.com/
I had saved the drafts thru the app on my android device.
Could not view them via PC for some reason.
Then when the problems started, I could not access any posts (draft or public) thru the app. Only view titles/first sentence.
I had to uninstall and reinstall the app.
If it is possible for you to restore them, great.
I gave up hope when I had to uninstall, so if not possible, never mind.
Thanks for your assistance.
Have a nice day. -
To start with, could you confirm if can find your drafts in your Drafts folder at: https://antea42.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

May I wade in here please?
Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. 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.

To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
https://antea42.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postTo locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
http://antea42.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageI 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.You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
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/
If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

I have just trashed a blog but if I restore it will it publish?
I don’t want to publish it as I need to edit it first.
-
I can open hardiepolymers.wordpress.com. So I presume you trashed a post, not a blog?
Check if you can find your trashed post in the Trash folder at https://hardiepolymers.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=post
