The New Blogger GUI, And The Disappearing Drafts List

Right now, a few blog owners who depend upon using the Draft status on posts, and who move posts in and out of Draft status regularly, are noting an oddity in the New GUI Posts menu.
I can't find my Draft posts - there's no menu selection!

Looking at the menu, one sees only "All".
So how do I identify and update my Draft posts?

There are no imported or scheduled posts, in the blog.



Fortunately, this is not hard to remedy. Just pick any one post, currently displayed as "Published".

  • Edit that one post, and hit "Revert to draft".
  • Edit that one post again, and hit "Update".

And there is that one post, with the others, again published - and the menu now will now have selections for "Draft" and "Published".

This is, unfortunately, a temporary fix - the next time you reload your dashboard, you'll see only "All" again. But, it's easy enough to repeat.

You may see the same behaviour with the "Imported" and "Scheduled" lists.

Also, if there are no "Draft", "Imported" or "Scheduled" posts, the relevant link won't be seen.

What would be the benefit of viewing an empty page, after all?

This is only a temporary fix, at least for me. On both of my accounts, I was able to get draft/scheduled back by doing this, but then by the next day, it was back to just having the "all" option and nothing more.

Thanks, Anthony,

Yes, it's only a temporary fix. Until Blogger corrects the problem, we'll just have to do it each time.

I just changed the URL in the end, after the # and pressed enter:

#allposts
#draftposts
#scheduledposts
#publishedposts

It makes the links show up again too. :)

Email and Password are not a Problem, verification code is, my sim Card is deleted and I can't even open it

Leonora,

Why is verification code a problem? Do you not have a properly registered backdoor?

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
