  When I go through my blog several of my posts are empty except for the title and featured picture. I haven’t touched any of them, does anyone know what has happened and what I can do about it? Thank you in advance.

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

  Hi –

  Thank you for those details! That was really helpful.

  In looking at theses posts I see that the content for them was deleted on January 11th around 20:00.

  The good news is that you can restore the previous version for each of them through the classic editor.

  To get there, add /wp-admin/ to the end of your side address, like this:

  https://bookwormwholived.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  On the left click on Posts. Open each affected post. Once at the post editor scroll below the post and see the Revisions box. Click the most recent version before January 11th and restore them.

  If you run in to any trouble with this let me know and I can help out.

  These changes could have been made by someone with access to your account. It’s important that you do not share your passwords with anyone else. I’d suggest that you change it and also enable 2 step authentication.
