The case of the disappearing posts
-
No shite Sherlock, this problem isn’t going away. Twice in the last week. Thought I’d learned my lesson, but no.
A word to the wise: DON’T write your posts expecting WordPress to save them. Either copy and save to another program and then hit save or publish, or watch your writing disappear.
What bugs me is, it’s a forced re-write, and it never looks the way I want it to.
-
Just to add this: my latest post should have two paragraphs below the photo. I cut and paste from the text editor I wrote it on, hit save, and
nada.
It never saves it!
Hitting publish doesn’t work either.
What’s going on???

Did and done. It allows me to add tags I’d forgotten to put in, but refuses to save text.
Geez, lots of fish flies lately.

Same thing happening to me. I try to edit a page and hit save, and the changes aren’t there.

It might be related to what Mark just reported and I made sticky at:

That is why it is best to let staff know through the contact form when issues like this arise. Hopefully it is sorted out quickly!

Very pleased to see it’s fixed.
Gotta change my posting habits, though.
Is there a way to compose in wordpress offline? I don’t want to download fancy software, just write and upload photos offline, then copy them online before publishing. That way, if the post gets sucked down the memory hole, at least I have the orginal as backup.
Composing in Word, etc is a bad idea because it gets gunked up with unnecessary code.

Blogdesk, which I avoided for more than a year, is a tiny program and it works amazingly well. It also saves your tags, which Word wont’ do.
What you can do as well is do your post as per normal, and just before publishing copy ALL and then paste into Word. That reverses the procedure; you’ll have a copy with formatting and all, but because you pasted TO Word, not FROM Word, your post shouldn’t get mucked up. You’ll also have a copy on your clipboard so you can just delete the mess and paste from there if the post goes sideways.
