Link to draft posts disappeared from ‘Posts’ – no option to access draft posts

  • We have saved a lot of posts over the last few years as drafts, so that we can edit and then publish them as and when necessary.

    However, when we tried to access our draft posts, the hyperlink that appears under Posts > All Posts has disappeared. There used to be an option to access draft posts alongside ‘all’, ‘private’ etc.

    Please see screenshot here.

    The WordPress accounts we have logged in with have full Administrator privileges.

    We have the latest version of WordPress installed. Not using any editors like Elementor etc.

    How can we access our draft blog posts please?

    Thank you.

  • Have you tried deactivating plugins one-by-one to see if it’s a plugin issue?
    For now, just add to your url:

    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

    It should show you the draft posts….hopefully.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I’ve tried the URL you kindly provided. That just sent us to a 404 page.

    Then I tried the URL without the &post_type=post and that sent me to the ‘Posts’ section of the WP dashboard but saying “No posts found.”

    I then tried to deactivate all the plugins. However, once again, the drafts section was not there. Nor did the URL you provided show them.

    Any ideas in terms of what else I can try please?

    We do have backups of the blog, using different backup methods. Would the draft blog posts be in a particular folder please?
