Support » Fixing WordPress » posts have disappeared

  • I ran some plugin updates, and tried and failed to install Google analytics. After I did this, a week’s worth of blog posts have disappeared, including pending posts that had not yet been published. Any thoughts as to what has happened and where I can find them? They are no where to be seen both on the blog or the dashboard.

  • Check database . If ur posts are present in database then deactivate all plugins and chack ur dashboard.

    I deactivated all plugins and still no posts on page

    install this plugin phpmyadmin .
    This plugin will give u an interface to access ur database…and try to check if the post are present in the table named wp_posts.

    I checked the database and the posts are not in there.

    Everything is there up until April 8 and then nothing is there after that–nothing that has been published as well as the posts that were pending.

    i dont really understand if u have the posts…anyways
    If u have the posts in your database then u should be happy.

    download the kubric(default) theme and activate it .. and check if all posts appear( They should if present in databse.) .

    if post are not in ur database..then i dnt know any way to recover them unless u had any backup’s.

    N.B :
    Always use pluging that have been verified by wordpress team. Or ask professional wordpress programmers to make 1 for u.
    Thanks.

    Seems awfully weird they’d just disappear. Is this common?

    I have multiple people contributing posts, so they put them in as pending and then I publish them. I don’t have access to their posts unless they are on the blog, so re-creating the posts is going to be nearly impossible. This is a business issue with me because we deal in information and are trying to build a loyal base.

    I don’t want this to happen again and so that’s why I’m trying to get to the bottom of it.

    I will check what happens after I download and activate the default theme and let you know.

    I have only verified plugins. Again, just curious why this has happened.

    Again, I will re-install the theme and let you know.

    They are gone. I have re-activated the theme and the posts are gone. Again, I only have WP approved plugins and I have only followed all the rules–I just updated my All in One SEO pack, my Share and Follow, my Stats plugin, and my Stats Dashboard. I have the Google Analytics and tried to activate it tonight, but was unsuccessful. It said it couldn’t do it right now. Once I did all that, the posts just disappeared.

    I will try to get my contributors to re-post the posts, but I think this is just FYI for you all that something very strange happened with this.

    Holy crap they have just showed up.

    Now they are gone again

    Are you out of suggestions? Should I just give up on this and try to get my staff to re-post?

    And, while I have been writing you, quite a few more people have actually viewed one of the missing posts according to Site Stats–very strange
