Unable to load History of post
-
I wrote up a complete new post and published it after adding images to it. The content went missing after publishing. I tried to retrieve it from the auto saved History (revisions) however it does not load the revision, rather shows me only the last saved version that it blank. All my hard work is gone in vain. Can anyone please help. Thanks

Hi –
This is a frustrating situation and I will try and help. Please share the post title that is in question here so I can take a closer look.

Thank you for offering to help. The title of the post was “A trip to Brunei and Philippines – Part I” and was fully updated until I posted it at 10.55 pm.
I have started to write it again now so you would see some activity today on the post.

I published what I was writing now and that vanished as well. Thankfully I had copied on a notepad

Hi obsessedfoodie01,
I can see a post called “A trip to Brunei and Philippines – Part I” in trashed posts. You’ll need to click on the three dots and click Restore to look for revisions of that particular post.
There is also published post with the same name — so it sounds like this is the latest one you’ve been working on.
Do you remember the last step you took before the post disappeared and went to the trash? For example, adding an image or choosing a category.

Hi,
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately it is none of the posts mentioned by you that has vanished.
The one that went blank when I published it was the same one you see in the Trash. I begun writing on it again and tried to publish it to see if the same issue existed. It did, and the post went blank again as mentioned in this post on October 1, 2018 9:18 pm.
Luckily I had copied what I had written and continued to write the post on a new post hoping that this time it would not disappear. The new post is what you see published.
However, the original post that was published on October 1st at 10.55 pm local time (as seen in the activity of the trashed post as well) does not seem to be anywhere.
-
Did you check for revisions on the trashed post prior to putting it in the trash? Once trashed, you can’t see revisions. So you would need to restore it in order to look at revisions.
In any case, good to hear that you had copied the text!

Thank you all for responding. I guess there was no solution to the issue that happened where my post went missing when published.
To Rootjosh : I did check all the revisions before putting it in the trash, guess you are only reading the last part of the message. What I copied was the text that I had re-written.

If the missing content wasn’t listed in revisions (History link), that means it wasn’t saved to our servers. Therefore, I’m afraid there isn’t a way to recover it.
I’m going to pass on the information about your post going blank when published to our developers, so they can keep an eye out for other reports of the same issue. In the meantime, please let us know if it happens again.
