Blog Posts Deleting Upon Hitting Publish Button

  • I type up a post .. text, pictures, recipe card plugin .. hit publish.. the entire post deletes itself besides the first paragraph when published.

    Checked with support desk for my 3rd party theme, she ran tests and said it’s not a theme issue.
    I thought maybe the recipe card plugin .. tried 4 different recipe cards, all worked on old posts but cannot post a new post. Deleted first 3 recipe plugins, kept the last one as it’s the most simple.

    Did a plug in check .. deactivated all plug ins besides the 1 recipe card … tried to publish a blog post with recipe card, it deleted itself.

    Then I deactivated the recipe plug in, along with ALL others, so no plugins were active.. published a blog post with text ONLY .. no photos, no plugins no recipe card .. just text.. and it DELETED itself again upon hitting publish.

    The frustrating part is my help desk girl could log into my dashboard from her computer in another state, and create a blog post with a recipe card just fine. Also edit it and add to it and republish it and all work showed up. Nothing deleted itself on her end.

    SO, I don’t think it’s a theme issue, I don’t think it’s a plugin conflict, I don’t think it’s wordpress (?) … is it something on my computer? I have an iMac that is about a year and a half old. I have no idea what to look for, what to test run or etc.. what to tinker with on WP or my site to see where the problem lies. Any real good techy people out there who know this stuff like the back of their hand? I haven’t been able to publish a blog post in over a week, or update my site. Beyond frustrated!

    Thanks!

  • Since the site works for someone else, sounds local. What browser are you using? Have you tried another browser? Have you restarted your computer and modem/router? Have you tried from another computer or ISP (if possible)?

    I have Safari and Firefox … I tried both .. so I empties cache in both, deleted ALL history in both, deleted photos from desktop I uploaded to WP to use in blog post .. rebooted the computer a few times .. and still the same issue.

    The only thing I have not done is restart the modem/router downstairs. And I have not tried from another computer .. I can try from my laptop if needed, just haven’t because it runs slow/very old. But should work for a test…

    OK, I did a test post from my laptop .. fist I added a new post with text only to see if it would publish. It published, did not delete anything .. went to main site to check it and all the text was there.
    Went back to post, hit Edit .. inserted a recipe card in the middle of body of text, hit update, it published and did not delete anything. hhmmph.
    Went to main site and the test post with the text and the recipe card are there. ??

    The only thing is this: My blog posts are set to not show the whole post on the blog page, but instead show each entry with the first few lines and the “read more” option … this test post posted the entire post instead, and shows the recipe card in there as text only …. but if you click on the blog post headline and let it take you to the actual blog post recipe page itself, it shows the text and recipe card in full color and proper format.

    Any ideas?

    Sounds like that’s theme and/or plugin question – I’d suggest asking StudioPress – since they provide support for their commercial themes.
