Is there a word count limit to your posts?

I have a post with 6,553 words on the site I administer-
http://lighthousealliance.org/site/?p=537

Do you have an excerpt for this 5,000+ word post? I recently edited this post and had trouble saving it just like you. I have a plugin that shows links in excerpts, and I had to change the link in the excerpt. When I tried to change the link and resave, it blanked out on me, too. What I did was cut and pasted the contents of the post to a notepad file and left the post blank, and changed just the excerpt and saved that. Once the post (now blank) was resaved with a new excerpt, I then posted the contents of the post back in and resaved it and it worked.

Not sure if that will work for you, but I hope it does!

Same deal here, but I’ve isolated it to the exact word count at which things are good. I have one page that should be 16000+ words (a bibliography), but anything over 15124 words causes the page to load with no content.

I have this same exact problem. I have checked with my hosting provider and they say it is nothing to do on their side, and they did extensive testing. Apache did not return any errors,etc. I thought perhaps something was timing out b/c of the long upload time.

My page’s word count is 13,978. I have never had this problem on pages that contained much less content which tells me it is probably isolated to the legnth.

Can someone please share some advice as to what is causing this? Seems to be a script problem in WP.

Does your post use photo captions? I tried removing [caption] and [/caption] from a 2600-word post that wasn’t displaying like yours also wasn’t, and all was fine: it appeared properly when I removed the [caption] content.
