• Hi all,
    I’m praying someone can help me with this as I’ve just lost hours of work.

    I’m using the WordPress app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Today started to type out a post on the app. I got as far as the title, tags and categories, and then I went outside and subsequently offline to continue. Whilst offline I typed up the entire body of the post (about 2 hours work, hence my despair).

    I finished up, left the post open in the app, closed my tablet and headed home. I later went to finish the post and publish it. STILL offline, I opened my tablet and was connecting my bluetooth keyboard. As the keyboard had not yet connected, when I opened wordpress (still open on the post) the tablet keyboard was up on the screen. I pressed the back button to close it, and I guess there was a delay and I pressed the button again, which actually then closed the post and saved it. Unfortunately somewhere in amongst that I guess I bumped a button or something strange happened but my entire post’s text disappeared. I noticed it disappear as I clicked the back button, then it exited the post and saved the now blank post.

    I have been SCOURING the net for help to try and recover my post. It seems (but I hope I am mistaken) that there is no way to see saved revisions in the app? Since this entire thing was all done offline, I can not hope to recover anything from the online site. this was only ever a local draft.

    Please please someone give me a miracle as I have just lost hours of work and I can’t bear the thought of having to type up my whole post again, heck I can not even remember everything, so it will take me about another 2 hours to retype :'(

    Is this something that I should be fearful of in future? is it better to type up all my posts somewhere else on my tablet and just copy paste them over? I can’t believe there was no undo option or way to see my previous revisions, it is a major glitch in the app because it is far too easy for this to happen again.

    Also, I am not sure what to select above re what version of wordpress I am using. The app is up to date and as far as I see it says version 5.5 which is not an option above so I am a bit confused.
