Well, the only thing that helped was upgrading to the new version 2.3.1 – which confirms my suspicion that this was a WP error rather than something going wrong somewhere else. I must I was a bit disappointed with the lack of responses on my query, especially since I wasn’t the only one with this problem.

bump, anyone?

I have the same problem as the OP and posted about this is in a new thread. No answer there, no answer here. Isn’t there anybody who knows what is causing this, not even from the WP team itself?

Yes, it was the server. Got a notification in the mail today. Let’s say it has been an interesting experience and that, thanks to the forum, I now have a convenient plugin!

“good that they had a backup only 2 days old and not one a month old… :)” – OMG, you don’t mean to tell me there are hosts who only back up once a month?

While I am awaiting their reply to my message I’ll try to recreate those missing posts. Stupid I didn’t save them as I made them in DMW. Now I learn the hard way that it’s best to have back ups on my own HD as well as on the server….

“Hope this helps but you really should read the docs about myphpadmin because you can screw it up beyond repair. ” – I know, but right now I am like standing at the side of the road with a broken car and I am focussed on getting it back to work rather than spending hours on the manual how to fix a broken gear chain or something. Right now, this forum is my WP yellow angle that I hope will guide me thru the diagnostics and the repairs.

I did what you told me to do and I found the table with posts that was browseable. However, the two missing posts have gone from that table as well, no trace left. I also noticed that I am missing two comments that were made after the date/time mentioned.

I am starting to wonder if this is a server problem rather than a WP problem. I just read my host is having problems with one of their servers and is replacing it as we speak. That could be it, no?

TIA,

Hi,
I downloaded, installed and activated the plugin. Now what do I do?

(Remember, I just learned how to ‘drive’ WP, I don’t know how to repair it yet…)

I saw in the ‘row statistics table’ that the last ‘update’ was made on Jan 22 12.49 PM. I know for certain that the posts that have disappeared, were made after that time.
