I’ve lost my other blog site! That wouldn’t be so bad except my entire book Not My Story To Tell is there. Luckily, most of it was transferred onto a word document but I was adding a few more chapters and they are lost. The entire site has just disappeared.
I’ve contacted WordPress but haven’t heard back from them. Someone suggested I might have been hacked. If anyone has any other advice or experience with an entire site disappearing I’d appreciate some advice. If not, please send me some good vibes that I have it restored or can rewrite a few chapters this week. I was hoping to send it to be edited before I start back to work.

I honestly thought it was a safe way to store it. Most of it has been transferred to Word but I’ve had that site for years.

How frustrating! I hope it’s resolved quickly. Someone else said that WP is only keeping about five posts. She was looking for an old one.

I noticed that too. I had to use search because it only showed five posts.

Yes. Sometimes I like to go back and see what I wrote so I don’t repeat, or look something up. But to search you have to remember the name!

If you use tags it’s easier to find old blogs.

I will keep you in my thoughts with hope WordPress can resurrect your blog. Once they do, it would be a good idea to use the back up function in the admin. Hugs

I hope you can get it back! Just the other day I got kicked out of twitter for no good reason, but they apologized and let me back within a few hours. It might be one of those weird glitches.

I’ve been noticing technical difficulties on a lot of sites. I guess the gremlins are getting into everything. I wish you the best of luck with getting your project back to the stage it was at before! :):)

Oh no! Sorry to hear that, Cathy. Hope you manage to get your site and your chapters back! Also, don’t know if your blog allows plugins, but if it does, UpdraftPlus is a great choice for setting up regular backups!

Hi Cathy, am so sorry to hear you lost all your work or at least part of it, but I do get good vibes from you, and you have heard of the saying “these things happen for a reason” am sure you will rewrite those chapters and they will turn out even better.
Please make sure you back-up your work, make it a habit.
I look forward to reading your book.
