I should add that “Save and continue editing” doesn’t work at all either. All my html disappears.
I did the same thing (accidentally deleted the entire post instead of comment spam). Fortunately, I have all the text files backed up. So I simply created a new post, pasted the text, retitled it and changed the timestamp, hit “publish”…
…and nothing. The new post doesn’t seem to exist, either as a new post or in my archives. I tried it twice more. Why? It’s a completely new post! Is the software banning the title of my post forever? Please, help.
