Description

Hello

I believe I've encountered a serious issue with my timeline.

While editing my timeline, approximately 60 historical events disappeared, as I got the following error message:

"Something went wrong!! Naughty naughty! You are trying to peek at a private entry."

The missing entries were my own timeline events. I did not intentionally delete them or change their privacy settings.

What happened:

  • Approximately 60 historical timeline entries disappeared.
  • The content inside those entries also appears to be gone.
  • Refreshing did not resolve the issue.

Could you please check whether these entries still exist in your database or whether they can be restored from a backup? This represents many hours of work, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance in recovering the lost data.

I've attached a screenshot of the error, and I can provide the timeline URL or any additional information if needed.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
Elias

Steps to Reproduce

The events still exist and retain their content and dates. However, dragging them from the left panel onto the timeline immediately returns them to the list instead of placing them on the timeline.

"I now receive a second error stating that 'the data you are working on are nowhere to be found.' The historical events themselves still exist and contain their content, but the timeline can no longer reference them. This appears to be a broken timeline reference rather than deleted events."

Seems that they disappeard due to not having a description in them yet. Strangely it took about 30-40 minutes before they dissappeared, hense the confusion.

Problem solved by going to timeline entires and adding stuff into their description and letting it auto-save.

Many of my events disappered from the time line, but still show in the event list. Editing them does not make them reappear on the time line.

it sort of looks like maybe its all my evetns with a negative year are the ones that dropped off the timeline
