I Just Did Something Really Stupid

I slept really badly last night and woke up exhausted, clearly that’s not the best state of mind for me to be in when drafting a blog post.  I went into my Friday Fives post from last week to grab the badge code so I could just copy/paste it into today’s post – and somehow ended up writing OVER the post from last week. Like, I have no idea how that even happened. But the 1-20-12 post is gone, and the 16 comments left on it are now attached to today’s post.

And I’ve even had coffee already this morning. Sigh. Okay, so does anyone know how I can recover that post? Shouldn’t it be saved somewhere? Help!

    I was wondering why there were old comments on there. Sorry, I have no idea if or how it can be fixed. I hate when stuff like that happens.

    I know the feeling,you wish you had never bothered! This might not be the most help but I know that what you are trying to do is possible but I am not sure how.

    One thing you can do is ask your host to send you over a copy of the backup that they take nightly (most do) and email you it, the database file will contain your old post – that is one way but I think there might be something simpler?

    In my WP at the bottom are all my old draft revisions. Is yours not down there? You can revert to the one you want if it’s there.

    I think you cannot edit that anymore. It happened to me and i think some of us did.

    The student was embarassed but before he could sit, I asked him if he knew the answer. Naturally he said he didn’t and I told the class, he’s not dumb nor was his questions. He was smart enough to seek an answer – the silence was deafening.

    Elizabeth, It happened to me twice! And until now, I don’t know how to fix it. I’m asking an IT professor to help me recover it, but even he cannot do anything to recover it.

    Sad to say Elizabeth, but I can’t help you on that. Maybe you should ask for a help from computer expert.
