Well I thought this issue was resolved but our posts disappeared again today. To get them back we had to change the category of all the posts from uncategorized to one of the categories (or all of them EXCEPT uncategorized). Checking uncategorized made them disappear. What is going on?

Ok, we’ve found the problem. If we categorize our posts they don’t show up on the frontpage. If they are uncategorized they reappear. If we make the posts categorized then they disappear again.

Just to clarify I have my blog under a different directory then my root. So my blog is at /*mydomain*/blog. The .htaccess file under that directory, when I enable permalinks, does, in fact, have the code fldtrace mentioned. I’m going through my backup files trying to find the differences to see what is wrong. Where do I find any error logs that may help me out?

Well, I had disabled the permalinks back to default to see if that fixed the problem. It didn’t. So I assume it had removed that portion of code on reverting back.

I checked my backups and .htaccess is the same as before I made all my changes.

Well my .htaccess at the root of public_html says:

RewriteEngine on
# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ – [F,NC]

Reading Settings are setup “Frontpage displays your latest posts”

Also there are posts and they appear on the sidemenu and can be individually viewed, just not on the frontpage.
