 * Hi.
 * Sorry for the vagueness but I’m very much an amateur at this.
 * I have 50 drafts saved, mainly text and about to add photos and tidy up. I wrote
   them a few months ago.
 * When I try to edit any of them, an old post appears on the page. When the edit
   page opens, I briefly see the original post and then it is over-written by another
   post. This happens in all 50 posts and the post over-writing is always the same.
 * I deleted caches and updated everything but no joy. My theme is free version 
   of CoverNews
 * I suspect I might have accidentally saved a block to something I cannot remember.
 * I thought there was a revision option somewhere but I cannot find it.
 * Can anyone advise me please?
 * Thanks

 * This may be due to caching, but let’s cast a wider net.
 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

 * Thanks. I tried all that and still nothing.
 * How do I get to see revisions. I’m sure I made a mistake a few days ago saving
   a block. I’d like to rewind back to a week ago

 * Not sure.
 * Blog down due to critical error now.
 * I would really like to rewind back to before all these problems started.
 * Can you recommend a WP professional I could pay to repair my site. Hopefully 
   not too expensive.
