    On one of my WP blogs, to which I haven’t published new stuff in a few years, the content suddenly disappeared.

    1. The blog content still is in the database. Thus, from the WP admin section, I can see and edit all posts and pages. I just can’t display them in the blog. So you’d think it’s a theme-related problem, but…
    2. Changing themes doesn’t solve the problem, so I guess the cause is something else.
    3. When I use a theme I designed for this site (a long time ago), it does display the headlines of the posts, the sidebar and the footer. Everything’s there, except the content (I use the more-tag, so there should be short intros to the individual posts, but there’s just an empty <p></p>.
    4. When using K2 theme, the blog’s main page ends with <div id="primarycontent" class="hfeed">, i.e. the sidebar and the footer is lacking in the HTML source. Also, where the content is supposed to be (in the primary DIV), there’s nothing…
    5. For individual blog posts, I get the headline, the comments, and the sidebar – basically everything except the text body of the post. This is what the HTML source looks like (using K2 theme) in the section where the Content ought to be:
      <div class="entry-content">
      <p></p>
      </div> <!-- .entry-content -->
    6. Perhaps I should add that the blog is in the root folder of my domain (domain.com/), whereas WP is installed in a sub-folder (domain.com/wordpress). But that shouldn’t matter, right?

    Sorry to have bothered you all: Turns out the Markdown plugin was the culprit. Thought I already had tried the standard plugin deactivation procedure, but it seems I hadn’t. Now all posts are back.

    Has your host updated anything? PHP? MySql? Or the http server itself?

    If you haven’t updated in a couple of years then you might have some compatibility issues either in the WP core or in a plugin you are running.

    You may also have a corrupt file somewhere. Or a database in need of repair.
