I have the same problem, but with wp e-commerce lastest version. I had the older plugin installed, but not activated. When I was notified there is an update, I “updated”, then activated to see what it looked like. All my content showed up as product pages. The permalinks were the correct, the contents was right, except the post title was “Products Page”, and everything looked a little off styling wise, most notably the main blog posts page. also static pages I had short code for pinting etc, no longer had the print showing. I deactivated wp e-commerce, still all hosed up. I had to do the same, go in, detete the WPSC tables from the data base, delete all files folders created by the plug in. Then it was back ok. So, I can’t use the new version of WP e-commerce with out crashing the site.

Hi all,

I was able to get my original content (mainly missing the posts, in wp_posts table in the mySQL data base) by downloading my back up copy of my saved data base, but this time only one table at a time. Then imported the back up tables into the crashed mySQL data base, one table at a time. That got me back! For some reason, when I downloaded the entire back up of the mySQL data base, then imported the back up, some of the data (mainly the wp_posts table) didn’t make it. The file size was dramatically smaller. But, one table at a time works I get all the data back, same total file size when done.

Thanks for your help.

OK, I did all this, dropped all the tables in the data base. Got back to the prior version I was using of wp (3.2.1). I still have the same problem(missing my main content), but I did notice that my backup data base file size is 5.8 Mbyte, and the mySQL database file size is only 1.8Mbyte after I restore, so something isn’t coming over. I think my data is in the back up, but can’t get it to all import back in?

Ideas? Any help? I am loosing months of work at this point if I can’t get this back.

I re-uploaded all of my theme files, including css. No change. The pages look fine, the front page posts look off.

I still don’t have my content back. I have done the restore with a Mac, could that be my problem?

Don’t do it, don’t do the auto update….I have lost my content that was entered into the visual/html editor from just prior to clicking…”auto update”… stop while there is still time and do the manual install.

Yep, just missing content. I have tried to re-install the back up tables about a dozen times now, I have tried all three days I have back ups for, same result, less the post titles newer than what the back up was of course. I have tried de-activating plugins, all of them, and reactivating. I put the twenty eleven theme back as active, no change to the missing content. Put my theme back, same. My comments are there, my media gallery is there, just what was entered into the visual or html editor of the blog posts. For that, I have only fragments or nothing at all, mostly nothing (like 90% gone) I did notice that my css styling is different on the posts, in the sidebar. They are now bold, and weren’t before. All of the pages, that also are missing the content that was entered into the visual / html editor, still have the normal font styling (not bold/strong).

Tim,

Thanks for the reply. My host provider does daily back ups and keeps the last three days. I have a saved copy of the day the site went bad, so this is probably not good, and also a back up copy of the data base from the two day’s prior. I have tried restoring the data base using Phpmyadmin to import the back up tables. I don’t think I did anything with the htaccess file? I thought I saw on other posts this may be part of a problem like this too. I actually got the first signs of something not working right when I updated my wp-ecommerce plug in, but still had my content, page navigation was wrong. I got advice that doing the automatic update to wp 3.3 might fix it, so I hit the auto update button and it all went bad at that point.

so I have the mySQL data base back up….any chance for me?

by couple of other files, I mean similar php files outside of the “theme-my-login” plug-in, and in the normal flow of WP folders/files.

OK,

I found where to do what Jeff / the author had said, “just remove the HTML that you do not want displayed”, this HTML is in the the plug-in set of files, file name you want is “form-profile.php”, In here are lines of HTML in table elements that can be deleted. Once deleted, that item doesn’t show up in the themed profile.

The confusing bit is there is similar code in a couple of other files that don’t do anything…I’m guessing this is because when the theme my login plug in installed and activated, those are not used, only the code in “form-profile.php” is used. That’s where to make changes.

I am using the theme my login plug in. Works nice, I do want to eliminate several user profile fields since this is a kids site and we don’t want any personal information:

How can I remove or hide the following profile fields: first name, last name, website, bio and also the color scheme picker at the top.

I already found a way to deleate the messager contact fields. I have tried several suggestions removing html code in the wp_admin folder or filters in the functions.php file, but couldn’t see any changes?

Does something in the theme my login files need to change?
