 * Hi guys
    I have a strange problem, that i found it by accident. I found that 
   old posts from 2015 + 2016 are totally lost i cant find the in database and even
   in wp admin. But all corresponding upload folders exist there
 * I use up-to-date wp version and plugins and my database is around 2GB in size.
 * Any ideas how to identify what may have happened?
 * Thank you

 * Do you have back-ups of older versions before you upgrade regularly ?
    As you
   said , posts from 2015 – 2016 are lost , you might have lost it when you have
   been upgrading versions from 2015…
 * Is your website customised ? (both themes & plugins)
 * Sometimes when you upgrade a customised site , you have to make sure you do it
   properly without breaking or messing up the older content.
 * Post the URL to your website , as we can check the latest posts & try to figure
   out if older posts are accessible.
