Site content disappeared

  • I have not done anything new to my site in over two months and then all the sudden the content was missing from the homepage, about us page and Our Team pages – all the tabs show but the actual content is missing. I called my host and used a saved version from a month ago and all was good. Now the same thing is happening and I have no idea what to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    when I restore an older version of the site, the content loads for a few minutes and then goes away again. I am at a loss

    That does sound odd.

    Do you have caching (probably using a plugin) set up? If so, switch it off for now.

    Temporarily switch off all plugins – if this fixes the problem, switch them back on one by one to find the culprit.

    Try switching to a different theme – still happening?

    Login to the phpMyAdmin tool via the hosting control panel. Is all your content actually there or not? It might all be there, just not getting displayed.

    Don’t trust your browser – test it using a different one than usual.

    What’s the url?

    I have installed WordPress, accessed it, customized the site, as best possible and prepared and published my first Blog, however, when I log out,everything I’ve done disappears and the site goes back to test mode.

    How can I save whats been done and publish my work so when the website is accessed it is actually seen?

    OK, so run through the suggestions above and report back!

    Are you saying that every time you logout the website empties itself?

    What plugins are installed?

    It is the free version of REVOLUTION SLIDER that came with the Baratheon theme that is not auto updated via WP. Everything works with WP 4.2 but does not when updraged to 4.5 I noticed that REVOLUTION SLIDER needs to me manually updated and I am not sure how that is done. I emailed the Theme creators and have not heard back.

    ThemeXLab’s Baratheon theme has not been upgraded for use with WordPress 4.5 and they have not even responded to my request for a fix in order to upgrade. I bought the upgraded slider and installed it. It is definitely the theme and now I am having to run the site in WP 4.2 so frustrating!

    Did you run through my suggestions?

    If not, you’re just guessing and it may or may not be your theme at fault. Just because the theme’s not been updated in over a year doesn’t mean it’s causing the website to empty of data when you logout.

    So run the tests and report back.

    (the business with the theme and rev slider sounds like a separate issue)
