    I’m sure this question has come up before. My last post and the one I’ve been working on don’t show up when published or previewed. I’ve tried most of the suggestions at the simple end of the spectrum I’ve found on line. Its not privacy or scheduling and I’ve updated WP and my plugins. I tried switching theme. No joy.

    I can’t understand what’s changed in the last week or so since I put up my last post? Any help would be appreciated.

    You are using the caching plugin Litespeed Cache. I would recommend that you clear its cache or deactivate the plugin completely. If you then see the post, it was due to the cache of this plugin.

    Thanks I tried updating my php using my host cpanel login and have broken the site even though the php checked out as OK. Trying to work out how to get it back again.

    1. Do you have any previous backups? You could use some them to restore the previous state mentioned at begining of that thread.
    2. Immediately, back your site up for you may roll back any changes made in case something goes wrong.
    3. Did you have access to WP dashboard? Do you have FTP access to your site? Enable WP Debuging and post in here any error/warning messages you’ve got.

    Thanks for your reply Jorge. I thought I did to DB but this plugin clearly stopped working some months ago. So no. After this is sorted a recommended plugin for back ups to DB will be the subject of another post. By logging into my host and using cpanel to rename the plugin folder to .hold I’ve got the site up and running but I can’t depreciate my PHP back to the old version using their tool. I should add that I used this to up the version. They claim to test it and this test was fine so I accepted the upgrade.

    For me this PHP/WP version issue has happened before. How do you get a version of PHP that works with WP plugins and doesn’t bring the site down?

    Made a backup on cpanel.

    Sorry Jorge – an update – found where the PHP version can be changed on host cpanel (which I used last time this happened) and put it back to 7.4. Changed plugins.hold back to plugins. Site working but I really do need to sort the PHP versus WP version out. My host says even PHP 8.0 is depreciated but using that breaks the site….

    WordPress is already compatible with PHP 8.2, 8.3 with caution. See: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/

    If you have a problem with PHP 8.0 or newer, this is caused by a plugin you are using or your theme. In this case, there should be an entry in the error log or in the debug.log mentioned above, which should tell you which plugin or theme is responsible for the problems.

    Again, back your site up for caution.

    Just like @threadi above wrote. You must check out the compability of all plugins and themes against the PHP version you intend get your site up and running.

    Remove or replace any plugins not compatible with the PHP version running in your host. That must vanish with any error/warning messages you’ve got.

    Recalling you that a latest PHP version running in your host’s generally a better configuration for security and safety reasons. Said that. Then, try to keep up your plugins, themes, and WP install always up to date and compatible with the current PHP version of your host.

    Thanks for your kind advice both of you. I’ll have a look into it this week. Disabling litespeed has made no difference to the posts not appearing though…

    This is now solved. I did an update of WP and all have appeared.
