Hi guys, I tried to upload my first post. I got a notification on my phone saying I needed to download something new for my video to show but when I went to it it was all gone. Now i can’t find the draft of my post just the photos I uploaded. How do I get my post back? I worked so long to write it!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://fortifyingspirit.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postTo locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
http://fortifyingspirit.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=pageProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog you may be able to recover a lost post or page.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

Thank you for your help
I’ve tried your suggestions but can’t seem to find anything. It’s strange because as I wrote the post my drafts were saved every time even when I turned my phone off it was there when I came back. My uploaded photos for the post are saved. .. could I give you my password to investigate? I am desperate! -

Staff will need to know the answers to these questions:
(a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
(b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://supportdetails.com/
(c) (c) Exactly what any error reports you receive state. -
Hi @juliavandam93,
Just a word of caution, please do not provide your password in the public forums.
I don’t currently see the post in your drafts or trash can here:
https://fortifyingspirit.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
To help troubleshoot, I’ll need to know the details Timethief requested. Specifically, could you let me know where you were posting from? It was likely one of three options:
1. Classic Dashboard (Example: http://d.pr/i/Y0Fm)
2. New Editor (Example: http://d.pr/i/19yKv)
3. Mobile app on your phone
Could you also elaborate on the message you received when you were uploading?
