   I just downloaded and installed wordpress on my website (http://blog.redalderranch.com) today. I spent about an hour making the first post, and when I hit the save button, the whole thing vanished. The post shows the title, but nothing else. I tried several more times and each time, whether I hit save and continue, save, or publish, the same thing happened. Everything disappeared! Not what I had in mind when i hit the "save" button, I can tell you that!

   Any ideas? This is new territory for me.

   I foolishly opted not to set up FTP to move the files onto my computer, thinking I would just select the files and upload them through the console. It is conceivable that I missed a file, although I tried to be very careful and double check as I went.

   help!

   Try eliminating the obviously before looking for the complex.

   You think you may not have uploaded the files correctly so do it again the right way. Eliminate the obvious before moving on.

   I am working my way through that right now. although I did find that as soon as turned off the visual editor as suggested in another thread, everything works fine.

   well, I went back through and double checked everything. I found a directory of plugin stuff that I had missed uploading, so i uploaded all of that.

   Still no joy with the visual editor. Code editor works fine, but the visual editor just disappears whatever I try to save or publish.

   And based on the volume of related threads I found, I'd say that there is a problem here outside of my particular installation. It just doesn't sound like there is a solution other than to not use the visual editor.

   Try using FireFox. Many have found one browser will work better than another.

   This is a fresh install, not an update? Silly question time... you do have javascript enabled on your browser?
