this just started to happen? cuz i saw your blog and you have posts form earlier,
try disabling all your plugins first, and have you edited anything outside of the theme folder?

The blog shows the posts, but the editor isn’t retrieving them. It happened a couple of times before any plugins were installed and I copied and reposted them as a work around. But it is a pain in the rear end to have to do that.

I’m getting the same error and have requested help twice. I hope a moderator is available soon and realizes that a lot of us are having this problem.
I am getting the same error. There are a few posts in our system that we can’t edit. Just started happening with WordPress 2.6. Never had this problem before.
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/………/wp-diff.php on line 290

post created but not showing ?
I’ve found a solution (it’s crazy but it works)
Check the number of the post you can’t edit
in ex : 500
got to your host Cpanel or Vdesk
select your database
run myphpadmin
call the database
search for ***_post
clik it and in the variable “content” copy the whole text, links etc from the post
close myphpadmin without updare/register etc etc
go to WP / write/ post
past the whole post in it
save and publish
that’s it.
If the post number 500 still show in the list – erase it.
The problem arises when an autosave is the last edit (id) for any particular post.
To fix the problem:
1) Sign in to your server control panel and go to your phpMyAdmin to access your SQL database
2) Access the table called [your installation]posts
3) Sort the table by post_parent
4) If you know the number of the post that’s causing you grief (eg. 123), navigate to where the post_parent numbers match your ineditable post (post_parent = 123)
5) Among the data for each record you will see something like this:
ID … post_name … post_parent
456 123-revision 123
457 123-revision-2 123
458 123-revision-3 123
459 123-autosave 123
There will be no more revisions for post 123 following the autosave.
6) Edit the autosave record and change the post_name to be the next revision number
In our example, ID number 459 needs to be changed so the post_name is 123-revision-4
The corrected data would then look like:
ID … post_name … post_parent
456 123-revision 123
457 123-revision-2 123
458 123-revision-3 123
459 123-revision-4 123
That’s it! You can now use WordPress as usual and go edit your post.
NOTE: If you find records that look something like this:
ID … post_name … post_parent
456 123-revision 123
457 123-revision-2 123
458 123-autosave 123
459 123-revision-3 123
DO NOT change the post_name of the autosave. This record (or post) is fine and should be able to be edited in WordPress. Editing is only a problem if the autosave is the last ID for the post.

Gelfling, (isn’t that from The Dark Crystal?)
Your solution worked perfectly! I’ve been searching for hours and found nothing but garbage… Thanks for the fix.
I was editng a pic in the visual window, multiple times, previewing, editing, previewing, etc. Then the post threw an error and I couldn’t get back to the edit post section.
I knew it had something to do with that damn autosave. Thanks again.

Can you disable autosave ??? Would be a great feature for future wp updates if not…this errors caused be grief also…

I just had the same problem and the solution worked perfectly. Hope they can correct this in a future revision!
