Hi,

The post link is https://wordjini.wordpress.com/2017/05/01/the-white-lily/

I had written part of it on the WP app on my phone and saved as a draft.
Then today I opened the draft from my laptop, completed it, and published it. I also shared its link on FB. Some of my friends had read it also. I then noticed a typo, and not wanting to switch on my laptop, I accessed the post from the WP app on my phone corrected it and clicked update. Now the published post is no longer visible in the link above.

Only the draft version is available. Not sure what happened. Please help.

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

Hi @worjini. I don’t think that the volunteers can help you with this. Maybe the staff can? I have tagged this for them to take a look. Good luck!

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

If you were using the app you could report that here https://apps.wordpress.org/support/

Hi Leena,

I’m glad to hear you were able to restore the post. Which device are you using and what is the version number of the app? I’ll mention it to our developers.

Thanks!
