  Why can’t I see my post revision histories? If I can’t restore something I just almost finished typing, I could die

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

  Hi , I’m not seeing any content in the President Duque post, just the title. Until you add some content to that post, nothing will show in the history.

  If you open the following post in the editor and click “History” you will see the revisions for that particular post.

  Try adding some content to the President Duque post, save it and then add a bit more text to it and save and then click History and it should then show some entries there.

  Could it be the theme?

  Hmmm, I can see revision history on other posts on your site. Can you try logging in with a different browser and seeing if you can see revisions on that browser?

  I see a revision on I Call Her Momma.

  Do you typically write in a different program and then copy/paste into your post, or do you write and edit it directly in the post editor at My Sites > Posts… ?

  Thanks, the problem is with my Google CHrome… it doesn’t show History. It seems though that it also didn’t save my draft for President Duque; it shows revision but ony 2 words were added. Every othe rpost shows revisions on Microsoft Edge.

  Thank you for posting back with that! We are tracking a few issues that we believe are all related to Chrome, and this verification is great to have.

  My suggestion is to always manually save after edits and make sure and wait for the save to complete before you add anything else. For the time being, I would suggest using Edge or Firefox.

  Again, thanks for that confirmation.
