It definitely affects multiple users, but one user on the site is responsible for the majority of the activity, so it’s difficult to say if any users are unaffected.

I tried the steps discussed in the other thread, and I believe we’re getting closer – When I set the user’s slugs to match the user_nicename, there is no effect. (I’m just changing the normal term slug and the cap-* slug in the wp_terms table, right?)

I’m running through all the various permutations of the login, nicename, and slugs, so far I’ve found that if I set the login, nicename, and slug to the login, and the cap-slug to the nicename, that all of the posts are appearing correctly. The nicenames in the user URLs are pretty important, so I don’t think this fix would work for anything other than debugging purposes. (We could change the login’s to match the nicenames, but during experimentation it looks like that doesn’t solve the problem.)

All of the other permutations I’ve tried so far leave me with the original state with missing posts, show me the missing posts but exclude all the posts that were being shown otherwise, or the following problem, which has occurred with a number of the combinations:

As an example, when I set the slugs to match the login, but leave the nicename as it was, I get the missing posts, but all the posts are duplicated many times in the archives. (For one post as an example, viewing the wp_posts table directly, I see one published row and four revisions. Viewing the archive page, I see 11 versions of the same post printed.)

Sorry if this is getting a little convoluted – Thanks for all the help!
