 * Please help. There are typos on [http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/](http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/)
   So I created temporary page [http://wangjingwei.org/zh/poetry-buyi/](http://wangjingwei.org/zh/poetry-buyi/)(
   password is “poetry”) as a duplicate to make all the type changes so that I can
   replace the content by copying and pasting the code into the [http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/](http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/).
   As I make corrections and save them, the VC row containing the tabs disappeared
   and all the tabs also disappeared with the FAQ now on top of each other on [http://wangjingwei.org/zh/poetry-buyi/](http://wangjingwei.org/zh/poetry-buyi/).
   Not only that, half of the data is missing. This happened to me 3 times. Any 
   idea what’s wrong? Is there a limit to amount of data allowed on a page? I do
   have over 400 FAQs inside tabs on but [http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/](http://wangjingwei.org/zh/his-ideas-cn/poetry/)
   has been working fine for 10 months the new page has no more data, I just need
   to make corrections.
    Any thoughts?

 * Look at the Page Revisions and compare the changes – make sure nothing is being
   accidentally deleted.
 * Also, You can edit the page directly (without making a copy) and just click “
   Preview Changes” before publishing – this will achieve the exact same result 
   without the duplication

 * Thanks, Shannon. I had been saving in draft so I only have 3 revisions showing
   because that’s when I saved. I already reverted to the oldest version and half
   the data is gone with saving and the tabs and gone. Do I have too many FAQs inside
   tabs? I had to make a copy because it takes many hours to make the edits I couldn’t
   possibly finish them in one sitting.

 * It is possible but I’ve never really experienced it.
    The database can handle
   4GB of data. There should be no limit on the window editor. The POST request 
   can be limited by the ini setting post_max_size and will depend on your server
   settings (easiest way to find out is to create a test file e.g. test.php and 
   put inside that file:
 *     ```
       <?php 
       phpinfo();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * the access the page at yourdomain.com/test.php to see what your post_max_size
   is set to.

 * Thanks, Shannon. The ini setting is now upped from 64 to 100 MB. Would that make
   a difference?

 * Thank you. Now VC is going blank on Chrome and Opera. I am only able to edit 
   content via Safari where VC is NOT blank. Does this make sense?
 * I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

 * Yes it makes sense – happens to me occasionally on some sites.
    I think it’s 
   memory related but have never bothered to try and find the exact cause. Perhaps
   raise the memory limit to 256M and see if that helps.

 * I reinstalled VC and spent the day redoing all the lost work in Safari, saving
   frequently as I went along, and then it happened again. I am now starting with
   a brand new page, just in case. The last time I tried to save all the edits I
   made disappeared (even though I have been checking all along and the last changes
   were saved fine) and now I am back exactly where I was 3 days ago. I have lost
   half my data and I don’t know why or how to move forward. Something seems to 
   be terribly wrong with the site, but I have no idea what and how to resolve the
   problem.

 * VC is a very memory intensive plugin. Perhaps check in the file /wp-admin/error_log
   to see if it is generating any errors.
 * Otherwise, when this starts happening to me, I click “backend editor” then click“
   text” and copy the html code into a text document as a backup. Then I just edit
   in plain text and copy it back in (it’s much easier and quicker.
 * Remember – you’ve always got revisions to revert back to.

 * I finally figured out the problem. It was a single Chinese character that caused
   VC to break and lose all the data after the character. I suspected it was the
   issue because every time the data lost was from the same point on. It was a character
   I picked up from a phone message, so I found the same character used elsewhere
   online and copied and pasted that instead, and I was able to finish the page 
   without a problem. Everything now works fine.
 * I just want to follow up with this problem, in the off chance that someone else
   will encounter a similar issue!
 * Thank you, Shannon W for trying to help
