    There should at least be an auto-save somewhere, but if the post object it relates to is missing somehow, you could not access it through WP. You’ll need to go straight to the DB through the phpMyAdmin app, usually accessed through your hosting account. The auto-save post record should be near the end of the posts table (usually prefixed with “wp_”). If you can locate your data, click the record’s edit link so you can copy/paste your content somewhere safe. I strongly urge you to not attempt to actually change anything through this app, you can seriously corrupt the DB if it’s not done correctly.

    It’s perfectly safe to look or to copy, just don’t ever click the “Go” button that makes changes. You may need to redo SEO and tags, but recovering the content would be a big win in itself.
