Title: Draft Posts Vanishing Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Draft Posts Vanishing * [filmg33k](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmg33k/) * (@filmg33k) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/draft-posts-vanishing/) * I have a client who is using wordpress on their site, and just recently (past 2 weeks), some of their draft posts seem to be disappearing into thin air. * I asked if they had changed or upgraded anything on the blog, and they said no. They’re also using the web interface. * At this point, I’m thinking it’s some obscure bug, or their connection is spotty and when they think they are saving a draft, it’s not connected and so not actually saving it. * Anyone else have this issue / have any insight? * Thanks.

Hopefully this will help someone: - Open your Database - Open the Table Structure _Posts - Change the “Post_Content” table by removing the value for NOT NULL (Thereby allowing NULL values) - Save and try again * I uploaded a picture and noticed that the database updated with the picture but not the post. The Post_content table was empty which lead me to this conclusion. After changing the above value everything started working.
