Support » Fixing WordPress » post disappears after a certain period of time

  • this is the third time i’m going to post. the first topic i posted disappeared after a day. the next one disappeared after posting. i used flock then, i switched to IE to see if this one will stay.

    but that’s beside the point. the posts in my wordpress installation also disappears after certainly period of time. this started the other night. so i made an experiment. i posted 3 updates at around 1pm sunday. now it’s monday 12am monday and the posts are gone. even the images iuploaded to the wp-content folder and linked to the posts are gone. i have no idea why. any feedbacks and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. maybe i should copy my old sql database and make a fresh database? even the zenphoto installation in the same database are having problems.

  • Sounds like your database is getting restored from backups. Have you checked with your host?

    not yet, it’s free hosting, so they probably won’t help. what if i copy the old database into a new one.. you think it would work?

    omg, my zenphoto gallery stopped showing a 500 internal server error.. thank God! 😀 as for the disappearing posts, i’ll still have to check!

    hmmm. i tried the easy upgrade thing by mark. i unzipped, ftped and overwrited everything.. and yet my wordpress version still says 2.0.4. i did everything right didnt i? thanks!

    weee upgrade’s okay! the reason why the version was still 2.0.4 was because of my ftp… i ftpd everything, and smrtftp showed that it had overwritten the old files. however, when i logged into my cpamel, i realized that none of the files had be updated. so i used the file manager and manually uploaded everything. it now works! 😀 i’m sad that there’s something wrong with my ftp connection.. and now for the mystery of the disappearing post. i’ll post now, and if it disappears by tomorow, then i’ll know something is wrong..
