Draft Posts Vanishing

  • I have a client who is using wordpress on their site, and just recently (past 2 weeks), some of their draft posts seem to be disappearing into thin air.

    I asked if they had changed or upgraded anything on the blog, and they said no. They’re also using the web interface.

    At this point, I’m thinking it’s some obscure bug, or their connection is spotty and when they think they are saving a draft, it’s not connected and so not actually saving it.

    Anyone else have this issue / have any insight?

    Thanks.

  • There’s a lot of posts with this issue, and after looking for many hours for an answer I managed to figure out the solution. Hopefully this will help someone:

    • Open your Database
    • Open the Table Structure <Prefix>_Posts
    • Change the “Post_Content” table by removing the value for NOT NULL (Thereby allowing NULL values)
    • Save and try again

    I uploaded a picture and noticed that the database updated with the picture but not the post. The Post_content table was empty which lead me to this conclusion. After changing the above value everything started working.
