If it did, then Im willing to revert to a previous version because this is something I desperately need * basically what Im asking is, **can anyone tell me for sure which was the latest version of WP where quickdraft worked?** * and is there any solution for this current version to fix this issue? any WP gurus who can lend a hand? * [Jeffro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffr0/) * (@jeffr0) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789159) * The bug has been reported [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27734](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27734) but I’m not sure when the fix will be pushed out to users. * Thread Starter [Carpanta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carpanta/) * (@carpanta) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789162) * good to read that , Jeff * not really sure what to do next, if revert to a previous version of WP where this option works (I’d have to know first whats the most recent version where it works, and how to revert to a previous WP version) or wait til the fix is applied * [Jeffro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffr0/) * (@jeffr0) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789184) * It most likely worked in WordPress 3.8.1 but if you revert to that version, you’ll lose the security updates 3.8.2 offered. I haven’t seen any confirmation yet but there might be a 3.8.3 to address this issue. * Thread Starter [Carpanta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carpanta/) * (@carpanta) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789187) * I think I’ll wait then, hopefully they’ll hurry to fix this * [wkdwich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wkdwich/) * (@wkdwich) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789207) * post is there.. it shows in the database.. and I was able to pull it up by editing the URL from a different post in the address bar * Thread Starter [Carpanta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carpanta/) * (@carpanta) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789208) * but I cannot access it from my dashboard as far as I know…. * I mean theres not a trace of the draft anywhere * how did you access the DB, BTW? * [Zeokat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeokat/) * (@zeokat) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789220) * Glad to see that this issue will be fixed.

In the meantime you should avoid Quick Draft. * [kentaiwan98](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kentaiwan98/) * (@kentaiwan98) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-draft-doesnt-save-the-posts-all-lost/#post-4789237) * Unfortunately, the draft save doesn’t always work. I saved two (tests) but lost one (the actual post). Pity. I don’t usually use Quick Draft, now I have a good reason not to try. And I did check the DB for the posts, but the one post I wanted was missing.
