 * .I have membership website and had a member contact me to say my latest blog 
   post “page could not be found”…so installed WPv5.3 and nothing happened..same
   thing ALL POSTS AND ARCHIVED POST SIMPLY GONE.
 * Went in took a look and 3YRS WORTH OF WORK IS COMPLETELY MISSING.
    Had them double
   check at Bluehost and they see nothing on the post side either.
 * Obviously this was a problem before I updated to V5.3, but then there’s something
   called “block editor” which was giving me fits to begin with, so installed “classic
   editor w/v5.3
 * Can anyone verify if they have pages/posts/media missing as well and does anyone
   have a clue as to what the huckleberry is happening?
 * What this means is that the BU I did today over on Bluehost gives me a crappy
   copy of my website content…last UPdate there was back in November 2019..gonna
   bite hard if I have to go back in and redo all the work I’ve done!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fall-posts-gone%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * always backup before update.
 * Upgrading WordPress or installing WordPress plugin should not remove any of the
   existing posts.
 * Are the posts missing from the Post list in WordPress dashboard panel as well?
 * A good hosting provider should keep daily backup of your site… You may want to
   hire someone to check your site for you. Just in case, export/backup your current
   site (all files and database).

 * Install the plugin “Classic Editor” from PLUGINS->ADD NEW to return to the old
   editor.

 * @lfc & [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/):
 * I did do site backup so wasn’t too worried…just a bit anguished at thought of
   having to redo all the work.
 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/): a huge thank you
   as looking around various support forums
    S/posts, you’d already solved my dilemma…
   Turns out it was permalink structure.
 * I toggled it & saved settings and voila’ like magick all post reappeared.
 * I attempted 3xs to come back and update this miracle here, but each time i did
   so & hit submit button I got “oops page not found”.
 * Thanks so much for speedy responses…you saved me & the life of my business [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/)!
 * Sincerely.
