Post Has Disappeared!

    Hi,

    One of the posts on our site has suddenly gone missing, even though I have not changed anything on it for months. I can’t be sure how long it’s been like this but I believe it happened recently.

    The page is here: http://fatlossschool.com/low-calorie-alcohol-drinks

    The strange thing is that when I go to edit it in the back end everything is fine there, the text is there etc. But then it doesn’t appear on the front end. I have tried:

    1. Restoring to an older save of the post.
    2. Updating the current one.

    But neither fixes it.

    What could possibly have caused this? We have 295 posts on the site, and how many others might this have happened to? I am losing confidence in WordPress each day.

    If you can help, it would be hugely appreciated.

    Just a quick update: I managed to fix this in a way. I went in to phpmyadmin and deleted the 2 database entries in wp_posts for that particular post. I then created a new post and pasted in all the old one’s content and images etc. It now works again as you’ll see.

    However, I really need to know why this happened, as it could have happened to countless other posts, and could occur again (at any time?). Can anyone explain this? Is it something to do with the WordPress 3.3 update?
