Thanks Shane, I will try both and report back here.

In my case, comment luv brought many comments but almost all were spammy. They were legitimate enough to pass Akismet but still were obviously not related to the post. I dumped it.

Fixed. Apparently the order is not immediately picked up by the theme. Anyway, it is working now.

bump please

One additional note:

I tried to register as a new user. It emailed me the password but when I tried it I received the same error message.

Still not working and I did that.

Where can I find someone to fix this – I will pay.

Bump please

I am still having the same problem. I can “see” the data for the more recent posts in the database but it does not display on the site. A visitor to my site sees it as it was 4 months ago.

Suggestions please?!

This issue is not resolved.

For some reason, I am back to where I was with about 4 months of posts missing. When I view my site I see an old theme with a post from May 20, 2009 at the top.

When I browse the database directly (through phpMyAdmin) I see my recent posts in the database and my recent media additions are in the proper subdirectory on my site. However I can see none of the recent material on my site.

I have restored the database from backup and thought that fixed the problem but it did not.

I have repaired the database from phpMyAdmin but that did not correct the problem.

I have analyzed the database with phpMyAdmin and it shows “OK.”

I have wp-supercache installed and have tried disabling it but that makes no difference.

A few days earlier my site was disabled by my hosting company for using too many cpu cycles. When it was returned to service the database had crashed. I repaired it and everything looked fine until this began.

I am running 2.8.4 on a Thesis theme.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just finished the import of the backup and it worked perfectly. All seems to be in order although I will be searching through looking for errors.

I appreciate the rapid responses and assistance. That’s much of the reason why I enjoy working with WordPress.

Ok, thanks guys. I have checked and the media files and the missing theme are all accounted for in their proper places. I will grab the backed up db and reinstall this afternoon.

Thanks

This is a not uncommon problem that seems to revolve around wp-cron file which eats up alot of CPU cycles sometimes. It is one of those gremlins that pops up from time to time. There is a workaround but that is not 100% as I was just suspended too and am working to fix it.
wp-cron began its life as a plugin that was later included in the core of WordPress. In part, this gives the ability to schedule posts to appear in the future. For me, that’s pretty helpful. However, it can get stuck in a loop and consume enormous amounts of CPU cycles.
Apparently it is not common enough to garner any repair or investigation by the WP programmers to fix it once and for all.
Here is a link for some information that is probably outdated but worth reading anyway. Be sure your isp has the most current apache running.
Here is the link to the workaround which doesn’t really fix the problem but may buy you sometime.
Let me be clear: I love WordPress. I think it is hands down the top blogging platform available. The people who work on it are really stellar folks who have poured countless hours into developing and maintaining this package. Words can never say enough. But this is a problem that ought to be examined. Its one of those issues that gets overlooked until it happens to you.
Good luck with you issues and let us know what happened.

So would it be reasonable to remove them as users? What else should I do?

Be sure you keep a back copy of your working site. I learned that the hard way. There are a number of plugins that will automate the backup of your site.

Bryant

Had to change the permalinks style which required recreation of the .htaccess file.

All is now well.

Update.

I reinstalled the theme from scratch along with the plug-ins. The front end is now visible. However the individual posts are not. In other words, I see them on the main page but when I try to click on one I get a 404 error.

Any thoughts?
