   Site: http://seekeraftertruth.com
   Version: 2.2.2

   Static pages I created while using WP 1.9 no longer appear under the manage -> pages (menu) in the admin section.
   The pages can be accessed via a permalink but seems to me that WP-Admin somehow "lost track" of them

   Any fixes?
   Thanks,
   Faisal

   There was no version WP 1.9.

   Pages are kept in the wp_posts table and the post_status field should be 'publish' and the post_type should be 'page'.

   My apologies Michael - the irregularities of speed typing have bested me once more.

   1. I am unsure how to verify the wp-admin interface with these recommendations as the pages section is completely blank and there is no place to apply these corrections. (these options appear only while trying to create a new page -- whereas I am trying to recover ones that wp-admin appears to have lost).

   2. The invocation from the theme's sidebar as follows:
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
   Should this be different? (as it no longer works).

   You'd need to use something like phpMyAdmin to check the database.

   Michael-

   Thanks for the guidance. I took it from there and solved the issue.

   For the benefit of any other reader:

   I installed phpmyadmin as suggested

   Ran the following test SQL query:
   ---------------------------------
   SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = 'publish'
   and noted a good set of results.

   Then, I applied the rules suggested above.
   ------------------------------------------
   SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'page'

   I got no results.

   Next I queried the post_title with the known title of one of the pages I had made.
   -------------------------------------------------------
   SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = 'contact'

   Here I noted the post_type was set to 'post' and not 'page'.

   Using the edit feature in the row result of phpmyadmin, I changed this to 'page', and voila, we're back in business.

   Thanks.

   Thanks so much! This resolved my issue easily since I only had a few Pages.

   I have been having this problem, and can see in phpMyAdmin that the post_type is correctly set to 'page' - could there be any other reasons for this issue?
