# Posts truncate

 * I’ve had this issue periodically (~6 times) since last October.
 * I run several WP blogs and only one has this problem. As luck would have it, 
   it’s the only one where I don’t have access to the database or server logs. And
   as luck would doubly have it, that person is away on vacation.
 * I compose posts in a text editor, including html markup. I copy and paste them
   into the WP text box, click Schedule or Publish and usually this is fine. I can
   tell there’s going to be a problem if the spinning wheel of death button hangs
   instead of the page refreshing immediately. (I’m talking about minutes, hours,
   etc. The problem is not patience.)
 * I’m only running a few plugins and they’re the same plugins as all my other blogs.
 * Sometimes the post shows up, I test a few browsers to be sure it’s there, then
   come back a few hours later and the post is either gone, leaving only a title,
   or else it’s severely truncated.
 * Any ideas what’s happening and how to make it never happen again?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * Not all plugins work on every server.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * The only plugins I had running wwere akismet and WP Stats running. I turned them
   off and changed the theme to Twenty Ten and had no change.
 * Any other ideas? Weeks go by without any problem at all, but like I said, this
   is the fifth or sixth time it’s happened since the blog launched last fall.

 * Have you tried checking the error logs for that site?

 * I don’t have access to logs for this site and the person who does is on vacation
   for a week.
 * I was able to publish a very short post to let readers know we’re having problems,
   but have not been able to post today’s announcements. I also have posts that 
   should go up every day this week.
 * Any idea why the very short post went up no problem? The one that I cannot get
   to publish is no different from any other post this past year.

 * Hard to say. It could be a server configuration issue.

 * Thanks. It’s driving me crazy that it only happens occasionally, but when it 
   happens there’s no way around it.

 * Have you spoken to the hosts about this? Have you asked for access to the server
   error logs?

 * I will ask when the admin returns next week. The problem has never persisted 
   this long before so I’ve always just moved on with hope it wouldn’t recur. 😉
