  I created a new post and saved as I went, but now I can’t find it anywhere???

  I asked this question yesterday, but haven’t had any replies yet – or maybe I just don’t know where to look for the replies???

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

  We haven’t had the time to respond to your first thread. We are working our way through all threads posted before that one. Please practice patience when posting to support forums and do not bump threads until 24 hours has passed. Do not create duplicate threads because it only means you will have to wait longer for a answer. That said, I’m feeling magnanimous today so here you go.

  Provided 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.

  To locate draft POSTS Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
  http://inneryummm.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  To locate draft PAGES Dashboard > Pages> All Pages > Drafts
  http://inneryummm.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=page

  (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

  If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  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/
