Recent posts aren't showing on my front page.

  • Unknown's avatar

    My top 3 most recent posts aren’t showing on my front page in a web browser. On mobile device it is showing these 3 posts so I’m stumped as to what the problem is. This randomly occured in the past week or so. I didn’t change any settings or anything so I’m wondering if something happened in the backend to make this change or if there is maintenance going on that would have made this occur?

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

    Us your timezone correctly set here?>Dashboard > Settings > Reading?

    Do you have sticky posts displaying above the 3 most recent posts?

    If you do edit and remove that designation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/

    If not then maybe you need to look in revisions or trash.

    Provided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to your blog I can help you with this.

    If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

    (If you are referring to a Page then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-revisions/)

    I recommend:

    1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
      Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
    2. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
    3. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
    4. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
    5. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

    If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

    Thanks for your quick response! Sorry, I should have been more thorough in describing the issue.

    These posts aren’t lost or deleted…they’re still there and they show that they’re “Posted”. So the posts show up on my side bar widget that lists the most recent posts. And I can also view the 3 posts if I go directly to those posts links, they just don’t show up on the Home Front Page. So the posts did not get deleted…they’re still posted and are viewable on the direct links.

    Odd part about it is they DID show up last time I checked my blog awhile back. AND they show up perfectly fine on the front page if I visit the page using my iPhone or iPad. These 3 posts were on my Home/Front Page as per usual. I checked it today and these 3 latest posts disappeared. I made NO edits on my blog in the meantime so this is something that occurred at some point without my knowledge.

    I tried the Sticky Post thing and that did not make them post to the front page either.

    I’ve viewed your Home Page and, as far as I can tell, everything is in order.

    The first 2 posts were posts you marked as Sticky:

    • Essential Animation Quick Tips for Cinema 4D
    • Essential Animation Tips for Cinema 4D: The Timeline

    Following them are your most recent posts:

    • Essential Animation Tips for Cinema 4D: Layers
    • Creating a Particle Morph Using Cinema 4D’s Inheritance Effector
    • Using the Pose Morph Tag to Morph Between Objects in Cinema 4D

    If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
