Update: After a few hours of not working, jetpack stats suddenly reappears – anyone else have this problem? I assume it’s source (wordpress) based.

Here’s my problem – the new Reading settings no longer has an option to select a page as our Front Page Display. So what’s the deal – is it just left up to chance what displays when someone clicks on the url?

It not just WordPress, but most things these days, every ‘improvement’ removes yet another option to the user to configure.

I’ve had all my posts and pages wiped out on two WP blogs hosted on hostgator. I asked for help and they got them back up up again by doing a DB repair.

When I asked how and why that happened they couldn’t say but “wordpress does that sometimes”.

It’s definitely a bug – but where and how to fix it – I don’t have a clue.

The only thing I remember doing was opening a post to edit it, then switching to upload media window before doing anything to the post, dialogue box – “are you sure you want to navigate away from this page” (presumably because I did not ‘update’ the post I opened) I say yes, go to media files, nothing there, back to posts, nothing there, go to pages, nothing there. All wiped out.

I work only on Linux platforms although that shouldn’t be a factor, should it?

thanks for letting us know how you fixed it. you’re a great help to others
