TESTORE button not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi love logged on to my site again and a pop up has appeared in green writing saying ‘A previously-started draft is saved in your browser. Would you like to restore it? When I pressed RESTORE button the pop up disappears without restoring post. This has happened before resulting in two lost drafts. Can you help!!

    Hi, when I log in to finish a post, a pop up appears telling me I have a draft saved, and offering to restore it. When I click RESTORE, the pop up disappears, and the draft does not appear. I am using Safari 6.1.6. Thanks for your help.

  • Hi @jimrae90,

    Usually that restore button will work well, but I have run into trouble if multiple tabs are open editing the same post. You will want to be careful of that – just use one tab to edit your post. I also recommend saving your post with a title sooner than later, especially if you like writing multiple posts at the same time in different tabs. Giving them each a name and saving that much will help your browser and the system know the difference between them.

    I wasn’t able to find any recently saved drafts on this site, unfortunately. You can typically find them at https://wordpress.com/posts/drafts . But these tips should help for future posts. I’ve closed the other extra thread, so if you need more help with this issue, please respond here.
