content of page not showing up
-
I just added a ‘comments’ page to my wordpress site.
the page shows up in the navigation but nothing I’ve written on the page is appearing. it’s just a blank page.
is there a limit on the number of pages per wordpress site? this is the six page I added.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no limit to the number of static pages for content that rarely changes we can have on WordPress.com blogs. But I don’t know why you have created such a page at all. The default setting for all WordPress blogs is comments open on all pages and posts. This page > Settings > Discussion
Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/
We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

No, there’s no limit.
Go to Pages > All Pages:
1) How many “Comments” pages can you see?
2) Hover over the title of the “Comments” page or pages and tell us what its/their slug is. -
Sorry, no.2 should read:
Hover over the title of the “Comments” page or pages, click Quick Edit and tell us what its/their slug is. -
Advice:
When you start a new post or page, add the title, set it to private and then publish it. When you are done with the post, set it back to publish and update it. The problem with posts disappearing when saved as a draft has been around for a while, but only seems to hit a small number of people randomly.The other choice is to get and use an offline blog client such as Windows Live Writer (Windows) or Ecto (Mac) and then everything is saved on your computer and when you are done with the post, you actually publish it directly from the blog client software.
You may be able to recover an earlier Page Revision.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/
Go to Pages > All Pages, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Page Revisions module for previous saved versions of the page. 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 Pages > Pages and locate the page and recover it from page revisions.Lastly, Staff is well aware of this issue and I have flagged this thread for a Staff response.

“Backing out now.”
Not necessarily: your suggestion re disappearing drafts might be the key one. But the OP said the page was the sixth one they added, while only five page tabs show up in the menu, and the slug of the Contact one is “blog-2”; so we must first find out if there’s another page with the same title, if the menu is the regular one or a custom one etc. – you know. -
Agreed but I prefer to let you continue here, if you don’t mind. (I’m not having a good vision day today. )

Okay..thanks all. the hint about checking the ‘slug’ helped.
I think what happened is that I had an earlier page called ‘blog’ and deleted it. then I added a new page called blog and then changed the name to ‘comments’. for some reason it got confused.anyway, I just deleted the page and recreated it and also used the ‘private’ then ‘public’ advice and it’s working as I want it to.
thanks all for helping me solve my problem. this is a very useful forum.

You’re welcome from me too. Don’t forget to do as justpi said and edit the page to enable comments. Best wishes with your blog. :)
