  I spent 3 hours writing a post to my blog. I hit preview and it kept trying to save it. Now it is gone. How do I retrieve what I wrote?

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

  Hi there,

  I see a draft post that you edited today at:

  https://semperfisiberians.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=554&action=edit

  Is that the post you are missing?

  Best!

  No. This is the one I am drafting today, trying to remember everything I wrote yesterday! I am working today on my husband’s laptop. Yesterday I was trying to compose on my IPad. I don’t know if this was the problem.

  Unfortunately, I don’t see another draft post with this title/content. There is nothing to retrieve.

  You should be able to write, preview, and publish from the iPad. If you continue to have problems with lost posts when you write from this machine, please let us know.

  Thank you. I was able to remember most of what I wrote yesterday and using my husband’s laptop, I was able to publish the post. I will try again with the iPad another time but with a lot shorter post.
