Content Doesn’t Save to Database

    I just moved our WP blog (2.9.2) to a new server, copied files databases and everything displays fine but after logging into admin and creating a draft post, the content, tags, and categories of the post were not saved. I check the wp_posts table in MySQL and the post title, author, date and more were saved.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    I followed these instructions and, for the most part, everything works. I just don’t understand how some of the post will get written to the database (title, author, posted date) and other parts not (post body, tags, etc.).

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    esmi,

    Thanks much for your help.

    I deactivated all plugins and switched to the WordPress Default theme. Still, the post body is not saving.

    Your suggestion to disable the plugins made me think that maybe the W3 Total Cache installation could be causing the problem. I followed W3 Total Cache Uninstall suggestions; still no luck.

    Using the QuickPress form in the admin landing page I was able to save a draft WITH content. Checked the database and sure enough it was there. I went to edit the post, added more text to the content, saved…no change.

    So there’s something about the create/edit post form that isn’t working.

    Or your database needs repairing?
