Hi Christine,

If this is for your old blog posts on your website...

I have an Excel spreadsheet that keeps track of all my article titles, date created, etc and so I can just copy and paste that title into my WordPress Dashboard and do a search.

But, if you don't have that, do the following:

Go into your WordPress Dashboard on the site, click on All Posts, put the month and year in the date area and click Apply and then click on that Search button. I just tried it and it brings up all your posts based on that search criteria.

I hope this helps and makes sense.

Have a Blessed week.
Monica

They should all be there if you scroll trrough all your old posts. Go to your profile and where it says the numer of post i blue click on it

If it's WA blogs, I had to scroll through the blog roll to the very beginning and then work my way through copying each link, you don't have to open each post, just right click on the title and 'copy link address'. There may quicker way, that's just how I did it, now they're all on Google sheets.

That's a great question. I would like to know the answer as well.

I was going to ask the same question as Chrystopher.

Christine,
So sorry for your loss. My prayers🙏 are with you and your family.

I know I am a little late answering this, but if you saved you blog, it should appear in the blog drafts.

This has happened to me many times and I just go back in like I'm creating a new blog, and you should see that you have unpublished drafts.

Hope this helps or maybe you were able to figure it out.

Christine, hopefully you'll be able to recover it. Lot of help offered.

*** what a frost! .... that just happened to one of my partial drafts yesterday and tried to do an immediate 'undo' which didn't work either ... lost out there in virtual space ...

... looks like Trish has made some good screenshots for you and hopefully, your post can be found in Drafts ....

.... all the best ... ***

I'm very sorry to hear that, Was the draft fully or even partially autosaved? If so you may be able to recover it. I wish I could tell you how to recover it but there are for sure other members here who can.

I just had a problem of my own come up. After dealing with the frustrations of trying to get wordpress to put things in the places I want them to be and to be easily visible to my website visitors I decided to create a new site and start from scratch. This time following the instructions step by step and reading all of the directions. You probably know that men don't read directions, we just do it.

Anyway after writing a rather lengthy about me page I wanted to publish it to my new site. The options given to me on the site content area only display a publish button. I thought if I clicked the publish button that it would give me the option of selection which website I wanted to publish it to.

BUT NOOOOOOO!

When I clicked on the publish button it published all my hard work to another of my sites. Where I didn't want to put it. Or change the about me page on that site.

Hey Christine,

Check out the screen prints below to see where the WA Blog draft files can be found.

Hope you find this helpful.

Hey Christine,

We have no say as to what happens to our older WA posts, but you could always update them whenever necessary.

As for your own older posts, it has always been recommended to keep older posts updated so that the information offered is relevant.

Should the update be a substantial amount of information, then you can even update the date of your posts: Unpublish Post, Make Changes to Date and Time Should a post become totally irrelevant, then you could delete the information BUT make sure to redirect the post to another of your posts with similar information offered.

In this way, you keep your visitors updated and you make Google very happy that you do not have stale information offered anywhere on your website.

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Christine, I too use the cloud.

Best wishes,
Michael

Good afternoon my sister, I just put everything in the cloud just in case something does go wrong. Have a sensational weekend my sister enjoy yourself you know you deserve it.

I have a spreadsheet for all of my WA post URL's. If you use 'Site Content' then all of your website posts will be there.
Are you concerned that if there is some kind of 'glitch' within the platform that you could lose everything ?
You could always copy and paste your articles onto a file on your computer.
There is also 'backing up'

Following....great question!

Just a thought, and it works okay; just put the tittle in the search bar top of your WA home page.

It should come up.

This may sound a little ocd; create a spread sheet, and log your posts URL.in it.

Works a treat, and gives you a good record.

Looks like Stanley found it.

Looks like you got to go to your profile > Blog >

Scroll all the way down to look for it... Is this it? "Oz Never Did Give Nothing to the Tinman"

Also type the keywords in the search bar above. It will usually be in the search results

once I got lucky I thought I had deleted a whole block that I thought I had moved to another post.
On the other post, I realized I was missing a great chunk. Oh no, do it all again I couldn't face it. fortunately, the stuff on the other post was still there because it wasn't in edit mode when I deleted it. And if you understand any of that well maybe you'll get a chuckle.

Thanks for the help, guys! It was a blog for the WA post side.

Hi Christine, was this a blog post within the comment area or a article you were doing for your website. If it was for your site was it within the site content arena.

Best wishes,
Michael

If you are in WordPress, I'm sure you can pull up the revisions. You need to turn on the revisions first. Upper Right there is a small button called Screen Options. Click this and then click on Revisions (you must be inside the post that you want to revise to get the right screen options) Then scroll down below the editor to find the listing of revisions.
