# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Disappearing Post Content

 * Awhile back I discovered that there is some undocumented limit on the size of
   a post. I am using the HTML editor; the WYSIWIG editor is disabled (because it
   tries to be too helpful).
 * Then I installed W3 Total Cache trying to get better performance. No problems
   and it seemed to speed things up.
 * I published a long article (not exceeding the max size mystery) at [http://www.frictionfactor.com/656/ar…for-prime-time](http://www.frictionfactor.com/656/ar…for-prime-time)
   and it worked fine.
 * But then I had a minor issue with a format edit not seeming to “take” and I wondered
   if the cache was not allowing me to see the change. So I disabled W3 Total Cache.
   And my article’s content disappeared. Only the header and footer could be seen…
   exactly the same as earlier when I ran into a maximum length of content issue.
   When I reactivate W3 Total Cache the problem goes away.
 * This makes no sense. What impact can the cache plugin have on this? I sure don’t
   want to have to be dependent upon keeping the cache active or else.
 * Any idea what could possibly be going on here?
 * I only have page cache and browser cache enabled.
 * Thank you!
    Larry

 * Most likely TC process the posts differently.
    Heres a solution for your max 
   mystery: [http://www.undermyhat.org/blog/2009/07/sudden-empty-blank-page-for-large-posts-with-wordpress/#solution](http://www.undermyhat.org/blog/2009/07/sudden-empty-blank-page-for-large-posts-with-wordpress/#solution)

 * Hi Andreas, it is very kind of you to respond here. I really would like to figure
   this out. I had found this solution and tried it, but for whatever reason, it
   had no effect for me.

 * Perhaps it’s best for you to submit a bug submission form from the support tab
   of the plugin.
