Post recover desperately needed

  • Is there a way to recover a post written in the write post panel but never published? My bloody connection broke just seconds before I pushed the publish button and I’m deep down in the dumps as I seem to have lost my long, well-conceived article (probably the best I’d written, BTW!). Please help a poor, hopeless guy about to give up blogging in despair.

  • Only thing I could think of is searching your local browser-cache files. Good luck…

    Isn’t there a way to use the WP cache to manage to do this? Thanks.

    I believe there has been discussion of an upcoming feature that will implement an ‘autosave-type’ function, but nothing in there now.

    And no, the ‘wp cache’, whatever you mean by that, wouldn’t have stuff you were typing into your browser.

    I write anything long in some other program. You just can’t rely upon browsers and net connections.

    BTW, if you lost your connection just seconds before pushing the publish button, you should have been able to cancel (ESC, etc.) the publish and copy and paste from the browser to a text file to back-up what you wrote. Generally… ??

    anyone please?

    1) you’re posting a new question on an old thread.
    2) it takes more than a few minutes for someone to respond. Learn patience.
    3) your posts are not stored in a folder on your server, they’re stored in your database. You have to look there to see if it can be found.

    The internet archive is a good resource for these sorts of things, assuming you arent like me and block them outright.

    Voila! behold the wayback machine:

    thanks dooblebee and whooami!!!

    there’s nothing that belongs to me in https://www.archive.org/index.php ??

    where can i find the database dooblebee? how can i retrieve them from dashboard?

    You can’t. You have to log into your hosting control panel, and then go into phpMyAdmin and look through your database to see if the posts are still there. If it’s there, then you may be able to change it’s status, or just copy/paste the contents into another file and recreate the post through the dahsboard.
