Disappearing posts

    I am posting on behalf of a friend whose blog is at http://speculativewriter.com/

    The latest post dated May 10th has disappeared. It is still listed under posts in the dashboard bit, and the link to it is still there under Recent Posts. So we can copy and repost it, but that would mean losing the comments that were left.

    Would you be able to shed any light on why this has happened? I have tried deactivating all the plug-ins, but that changed nothing. We’d like to have the post plus comments back, if possible.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    The blog at http://speculativewriter.com/ is a self-hosted WordPress blog (not hosted here at WordPress.com) so the WordPress.com support staff can’t do much to help there.

    However, I took a quick peek and I see the May 10th post lower down on the front page there — it’s currently the 5th post down. You might want to check to see if the other posts are marked as sticky posts (in the post editor), which sticks them to the top of the page.

    If you need more help with that, the best place to get help for self-hosted blogs is the WordPress.org forums. Best of luck!
