    I have a page with thousands of lines of html code. Recently I was updating it, and after saving, all the content of the page was gone! (Thank goodness for the back button) I tried restoring from previous versions, but saving still deletes the content. The page was originally created in WP 2.6 and worked fine in 2.7 until I saved the page.

    Next, I tried just typing a few words – worked fine. Then I tried validating the html code I was using – that is fine. I tried just putting in a few lines of that code – all fine. The code repeats with just non-code variables being updated, so no problem there. The problem only seems to occur with large amounts of code.

    Next, I tried turning off all plugins – plugins are NOT causing the problem. I tried creating a new page, same problem occurred. I have tried the code on another WP 2.7 blog on the same server and the same problem occurred.

    Finally, I can add the content directly to the database, but who wants to do that every time? Any ideas on fixing this problem?

  • You would need to paste your post content in a pastebin and report the link back here. Maybe someone can spot a specific problem.

    The post content is on the page since I entered it into the DB directly or can be found here: https://pastebin.ca/1398419

    I have also tried multiple browsers on both a mac and pc from different internet connections.

    I had problems pasting that whole thing into a post then hitting publish–it just left me with the post title and no content.

    But I started a new post, pasted your stuff into the content, then hit enter a a few characters and enter again and the word oount updated to 2850 and I was able to successfully publish the post.

    Thanks, that seems to work!

    I need some help with this. You stated that you “hit enter” and then a few characters and then hit “enter again”. What do you mean?

    I have one massive page that I have had to separate into five pages because it’s reaching some kind of character limit. The page just won’t show up (except for the title). Please help.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I am experiencing the same problem

    paste in 6239 words (tried Michaels suggestion, even reformatted the whole doucument.

    The word count in the editor reads 6239

    Then I hit publish, it goes down to 1836 (or similar)

    I might go in to the DB and see if I can manually adjust the character limit for the field.
    But has anyone come across a solve?

    Thanks
