• Just installed WordPress 1.2 on a server running MySQL 4.0.15-standard. I can not get my test posts to be visible in the site or the edit screens. I know the posts exists as i can see the number of them attached to the user in the user screen and through phpMyAdmin i can view the contents. For some reason they are not serving up — i am getting the ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’ message.

    The other strange thing is that i can see (and create) the comments from the edit screen. They do not display in the site either however.

    Any suggestions for how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.

  • Have you edited the index.php in any way? Seems to me like you’re missing some template tags, I could be wrong though.

    No. I have only edited the config file as instructed. I even tried redownloading WordPress, droppng the user and the database from the server and doing a complete re-install. Still in the same place?

    If it were something with the index.php you would expect it to only affect the public side of the site. The posts are not visible on the admin site either.

    I’m really not the one to be answering this, but I figured I’d try to help you with what I could. It seems as though one of the tables isn’t getting installed properly. Double-check your wp-config file once more, since this is the only thing that you’ve edited.

    btw – do you use phpmyadmin by any chance?

    will check the tables in phpMyAdmin. I use it, but only in a very general way. thanks for the help. will let you know what i see in the tables — will compare comments to posts.

    I’m also a “general” user ?? I’m relatively new to all this PHP programming stuff. Check out the wp_post table and make sure that there are actual posts in there, rather than the ID just incrementing and claiming that you have posts.

    Yes, when i browse the wp_posts table i can see that the posts are there with the correct incrementing ID. this is the wierd part for me. the write function of the admin side seems to be working to create the posts (i can also create categories and the like).

    Okay, just tried something. since i could get the first post to come up through viewing the comments, with this address: https://landarts.art.utexas.edu/des311k2005/index.php?p=1
    I just tried changing the increment number to see if the other posts would show. They did. This gives some credance to it being an ‘index.php’ problem, but doesn’t explain why they are not showing on the admin ‘edit’ screen. curious. . .

    still a bit puzzled and not sure what’s the cause.

    I am having a similar problem. I can see the post when I am in the admin edit section, but they aren’t showing up on the blog page. I haven’t edited the index.php in several days, so I don’t think that is the problem. I was happily posting along after I made changes to index.php, and then all of a sudden the posts aren’t showing up.

    I’m having a similar problem to. I created a WP site, played with the design a bit, and it worked perfectly. Then I don’t have time to post anything for a couple weeks, and I come back to my site and I just get the ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’ message, and I can-not see them through the “Manage” section in Admin. However, I *can* see them on the Dashboard of the Admin.

    I checked my wp_posts table, and all of my posts are in the database.

    I did edit the index.php of my theme a bit, but it worked fine after I did. Just now when I discovered all my posts were missing I switched back to the default theme and there’s no posts there either, but it did give this message, don’t know if it’s relevant:

    “You have searched the weblog archives for ‘df1e1e443740859ba92fcfcb1f882cd1’. If you are unable to find anything in these search results, you can try one of these links.”

    If you try to search for anything else, it just puts that string back in the search bar and gives the “no posts matched” error.

    I am also having the same problem, but I have not edited any of the pages in months and this happened about 3 days ago. Is there any way to fix this yet?
