donncha: Thanks for looking into it. This might help: I was intending to have a “Shopping” page with affiliate links to sites like eBay and Amazon. I added a link to eBay on the page, and it was after that I began to get the messages saying I can’t edit my pages. Also, the “Shopping” page hasn’t shown in my sidebar. I did some FAQ- and Forum-checking, and found out WordPress doesn’t look favorably on using affiliate links. Is this correct? Could this be the reason I’ve been locked out of editing my pages? If so, I’ll be glad to delete the page. Thanks!

lightwalk – it’s not that. I checked your site and there is something wrong with the permissions. What it is, I’m not sure yet.
Nemtu – your site looks ok now, I can guarantee it wasn’t a hack attack by extremists! -

Plaza, did you check the “Manage post” page like suggested above? You don’t mention if you did or not.

WordPress happens to be my favourite blogging service. Two features that set it apart are:
1. Categories
2. Static pagesHere are two things that WordPress guys should look into, now that they are into the “upgrade” mode. I’m sure it’s not going to be a tough task for the team:
1. If someone deletes a WordPress url he chose (say soemone.wordpress.com), it becomes unable FOREVER. Why? Can it not become available again for the taking? Doing so would be a logical thing to do.
2. If there is inflammatory or violent content on WordPress, there should be a quick link to report it. I haven’t found a link yet which can be used in case someone is posting unsuitable content on WordPress.
Upgrade team, my two cents.

Lightwalk – it’s fixed. You can edit your pages again. Only don’t make it too spammy please! :)

donncha: Thanks for looking into my problem. FYI: I am able to edit my posts, I just can’t edit my pages. BTW: eisviech had the same problem, posted in a closed thread at http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=643&replies=4.

farrukh – It’s our current policy that wordpress URLs stay deactivated.
If you find inflammatory or violent content please use the feedback form in your dashboard to report it.
(Further discussion on this topic should be moved to another topic please!) -
Donncha, just FYI – I know you’re working overtime on this, but I left a February 15 post up as a test (ain’t February 15 yet except in Australia maybe) and it is “still” up and visible to the world.
I’m not going to take my other posts back out of draft until I’m sure this is fixed.
And thanks for fixing the sidebar. That was strange. Thanks.

donncha: Thanks again for your help. I can now edit my pages, and have even added another new one, but the new ones are not showing up yet on my site…should I just be more patient (which I can)?. Also, as I asked in my previous post, what is “too spammy”?
-
If something gets deleted, it is too spammy. If it doesn’t, it is not. In the continuing absence of a terms of service, trial and error is all we have :)

Hello WP. While you’re upgrading, please check the xhtml validity for the theme: Contempt by Vault 9. There is an error for the “page” code. See:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://yawandmog.wordpress.com/
Thanks.
(I hope my future posts get back to being published in the future?).

I had a couple of pages but now they’re all gone. But when I check and manage my pages, it only shows one of them, and that’s not even showing on the main page. I just hope they come back eventually. Here’s what it looks like now but it should have more next to where it says ‘Home’:

Scoble’s page is up, go figure:
http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/
This and his custom theme make me wonder: Does he have a special account? ;-) (I’m just a jealous Scoble wannabe – his traffic is probably one of the reasons wordpress is free I imagine.) -
My 2 scheduled posts appear before they were due, so I went ahead to edit their times.
After editting their times, they all disappeared totally… Haha!

Yes, I did it, I can see my posts but not the static pages like “About” an others that I created lately.
In reference, the title of one of them is “la infanta Aydesa” that I tried to create a like a new one on MANAGE/PAGES/CREATE NEW PAGE.
When I intend to save and publish this page, the status return to DRAFT so the page can’t be viewed in the frontend. -
donncha: I’m having the same problem as plazaconstitucion at http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=639&page=2&replies=38#post-3200. I deleted the “Shopping” page and added a new one, “Scriptures”, but after I save it, even choosing the “published” option, it saves it instead as a “draft” and the page doesn’t show on the site…???
