  Hi WordPress

  I uploaded a new post today (approx 9hours ago) and it worked fine.

  I just went in to add some categories and then I clicked update.

  However all the content of my post is gone and I’m only left with the title.

  I updated my blog theme/template yesterday, as well as updating all of my posts to give them a category, which all seemed to go smoothly.

  I haven’t deleted it and my first post is still showing. Is there a way to recover the missing text and photos?

  Please help!

  Thanks,
  Narelle

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

  I’ve emailed the support team.

  I ended up just re-doing it – via the update button (luckily I draft mine in Word first as I don’t think I could have re-written it).

  I’ll post the answer from support when they get back to me as I don’t want to make the same mistake again.

  I worked out how to fix it. In edit mode there is an a hyperlink on the word “published” just above the preview button.

  If you click that link a section expands that shows (in my case) “4 revisions.” Clicking that hyperlink will take you to a revisions screen and you should be able to find your previous version there and reinstate it.
