Any post on any WP blog can be edited without deleting the comments on that post. * Writing this up for VentureBeat, let me know if you have updates. * [Daniel Bachhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielbachhuber/) * (@danielbachhuber) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019717) * Oh, sorry, I misread your original comment as “when you delete the liveblog post via the backend”. * Editing the post shouldn’t delete the comments. Can you confirm you’re running trunk and aren’t experiencing [this issue](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-users-dont-see-liveblog-part?replies=10)? * What edit did you make that caused the liveblog to be deleted? * Thread Starter [johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) * (@johnkoetsier) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019721) * 3.4.1, no updates available. * Edited the post to add a featured image, saved, boom, liveblog disappeared. * [Yuri Victor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yurivictor/) * (@yurivictor) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019722) * On trunk, I’m not experiencing this issue. * The liveblog entries are pulled based on the post ID which doesn’t change if the main entry is edited. * [Yuri Victor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yurivictor/) * (@yurivictor) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019729) * On 3.4.1., the posts disappear because they haven’t been approved yet. * This is fixed in [3.5](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/21570) and an [update for backwards compatibility is coming soon.](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-users-dont-see-liveblog-part?replies=10#post-3137319) * Thread Starter [johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) * (@johnkoetsier) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019730) * Testing here: * [http://sparkplug9.com/testing-the-new-wordpress-liveblog-plugin/](http://sparkplug9.com/testing-the-new-wordpress-liveblog-plugin/) * Thread Starter [johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) * (@johnkoetsier) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019733) * And yes, editing in the backend kills the liveblog posts … without warning. * Thread Starter [johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) * (@johnkoetsier) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019735) * Duplicated the issue. * Thread Starter [johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) * (@johnkoetsier) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019740) * YuriVictor: why would they need to be approved? I allow comments to go live, and I have no approvals process for posts on my blog. * [Yuri Victor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yurivictor/) * (@yurivictor) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019742) * [@johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) The change to comments is an [update](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/21570) in WordPress 3.5. * Looks like the liveblog plugin has been made [backwards compatible](https://github.com/Automattic/liveblog/commit/b5df6d8491a3a13b2b4322043cc66937dc08f855) for 3.4.1 on github and the push will be available here on WordPress soon. * Plugin Author [Mohammad Jangda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batmoo/) * (@batmoo) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019776) * [@johnkoetsier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnkoetsier/) can you update to v1.1 and try again? * [varunkrish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/varunkrish/) * (@varunkrish) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-liveblog-massive-bug-i-think/#post-3019777) * Hi Mohammad, * Thanks for the quick 1.1 update.
