  Right, I am getting tired of this. This has happened numerous times to me (and, I’m sure, to many others). This is a bug that comes and goes, but, in a nutshell, what happens is this:

  1. You write a post, including title, post content, tags, etc.
  2. You publish post.
  3. Post appears on blog sans post content.
  4. Content is not saved elsewhere; I go into fury mode.

  Now, some of you may say “Oh, they should have written their post in Word first and then copied and pasted into WordPress.” Those people are right; I should have done that, and I should know better. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that this is a bug that is fundamentally unacceptable. Forget all the cosmetic crap that most people don’t really care about and won’t use (ratings? Pfft); the most important thing is that people can type out a post without fear of it getting deleted after publishing. C’mon, WordPress, it’s just not good enough.

  We need a link to your blog. We can’t see the problem. Some issues are theme specific so we’ll need to have a look.

  As I understand your post above only the headline gets published, right?

  Please check that you post is not sitting on a page, ind pending posts or in drafts. Also check your general time settings for your blog.
