It is sporadic. I get the red bar that says that updating failed. The only way to get back to saving work is to reload the page. This often loses a few minutes of edits.
This means a need to copy the text to a plain text edit app, then repaste bits into the blocks, extracting html as I go.
I use Wordfence, W3 Total Cache and Thrive Themes.
Please, please, please DO NOT launch this as a mandatory part of WP until you fix this. I am reverting to the old editor.
]]>I recently spent 4 hours writing an article on a page. When I clicked save draft, WordPress asked me to login again. You know the capacha popped up with a relatively easy math sum. Then when it reloaded all my data was gone.
I have checked the revisions and it says my last revision was 19 hours ago. I have also tried skipping back to the page and still nothing. Is there anyway I can find it?
I really don’t think I can write that again as it was an ad lib piece, and pretty darn good if you ask me.

]]>edit: I have been doing some research, and it would appear that in the past people have solved similar problems with the ‘revisions’ tab under screen options. They are all several years old, though, and I no longer see revisions as an option.
]]>I was working on my own Privacy Policy for the blog. I decided to save the draft, so I clicked on the link “Save Draft” and exited the room. Even before the first “save,” I saw where WordPress claimed to had saved a draft of the post, which did seem peculiar because I hadn’t saved the draft yet.
So, when I returned to the room, the entire document was -gone-. It was simply a blank page, although it had retained the title.
<i>I do use an assigned links-name plugin and had already assigned the title, so that developer will, if I can find the necessary info, be receiving a carbon copy of this message along with WordPress support forum.</i>
Of course, I did look and see what was at the shortlink, but it reverted to the typed link.
The problem relates to two things:
1. There does not appear to be more than one draft associated with a “Page”-type posting.
2. Some kind of overlooked error erased my hard work without notification.
That covers it.
]]>Have just set up a new wordpress blog, www.thefiskreport.com
I had done some work on the theme, and added 2 pages.
Yesterday, inexplicably, the site failed, would not load, and an error message appeared.
I contacted the hosts, who confirmed it was a problem they were dealing with.
Today, at last the site was back up again, but somehow, it is a version of the site from a few days back.
Logging in to the wp-admin page, I find that updates I’d done over the last few days are just not there.
Is there any way these could be retrieved? Most annoyingly, I have lost a whole page I’d written straight onto WordPress, without backing up. Also, various changes to the theme.
Any urgent help appreciated.
Nick
