 * I’m at a loss to figure out whats going on. In December I took my current website/
   blog, deleted all the content, and using the WordPress import/export toolI imported
   about 50 pages and around 150 posts from my test wordpress site. Everything copied
   over the way it was supposed to.
 * On 4 occasions, I’ve found changes I’ve made have disappeared without a trace.
   I had about 20 posts from 2013 that the images didn’t copy over. I went ahead
   and manually brought them over using FTP and the WP displayed the images correctly.
   Then a week later I checked and all those images were deleted from my FTP.
 * I’ve also found pages I’ve deleted (also deleted from the trash) show up again.
 * Last but not least on 2/15 I made a few minor changes to the text on a wordpress
   page. I check today (2/19), and those changes are gone and WP has reverted to
   the prechanged page. Revision history on the page shows now changes done on 2/
   15.
 * AFAIK no plugins were updated and wordpress was not updated.

 * Have you asked your hosting company about this? Or do you have any caching on
   your site and/or server?

 * Have discussed this problem with your hosting provider?

 * Update:
 * I realized something was wrong when the plugin Broken Link Checker showed me 
   I had 1500 broken links (all to image files).
 * 2/18 I got an email from Broken Link Checker showing I had 1 broken link
    2/19
   12:08am I got an email from wordpress stating wordpress had automatically updated
   to ver 4.1.1
 * 2/19 10am – I get an email from Broken Link Checker saying I have 1500 broken
   link. I log into wordpress and I get a message saying I need to update to 4.1.1.
   So it looks like it something with the wordpress automatic update. I have a 2nd
   wordpress site that has lost changes as well

 * I’ll send an email to my host now. My site has been fine for the last few years,
   but they recently moved my site to a new server. Now that site #2 has been affected
   its really bugging me.

 * Yeah, that sounds troubling indeed. Hope they can be helpful.
