    I’ve been on 2 different computers (one at home and one at a public library) and one post is not appearing on the page.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Please be sure you are running one of the browser versions here http://browsehappy.com first.

    You may be able to recover an earlier post revision. Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

    If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

    If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it’s not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

    Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
    Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

    Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
    http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

    Advice:
    Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
    Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

    Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

    It’s not one post, it’s two.
    And it’s not a browser issue or any of the above: the posts are published, they show up fine when viewing each single post, but they don’t show on the front page.
    Unfortunately I’m not seeing any problem in the code, and I cannot replicate the situation in my tests blog, so I cannot tell what’s wrong. Try turning those posts to drafts then turn them back to published and see if it makes a difference.

    Tried that, doesn’t seem to work. There was another mystery that corrected itself awhile ago, where one of my posts was appearing twice on the page. I wonder if there’s a ghost in the machine? : )

    Thanks for your interest and help.

    a) The issue might have to do with the “infinite scrolling” feature, because the two posts that don’t show up are the first two that should appear when the feature kicks in. Let’s see what happens if you go to Settings > Reading and uncheck the option “Scroll Infinitely”.
    b) Would you mind changing the date of those posts? Say, make “Wing Lake” Jan 4 and “Larch Forest” Jan 5?
