Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Suddenly, content just disappears

Suddenly, content just disappears

This is the third time this has happened with the same site. The site owner makes a few normal edits to content then the next time she logs in almost all (save one text widget) is no longer displayed. The theme design is still there, it is just empty of content. I deactivate all plugins to no avail. The content is still in the DB just not displayed. I will reinstall the theme and all will be well again. Till she does some more edits. This is crazy! None of my other Atahualpa sites have behaved this way.

Last time this happened I took it as an opportunity to upgrade to 3.7.3. And I just upgraded to WP 3.3.1.

I'm at a loss. Anyone have ideas about what could be going on here? Some kind of corruption issue? How could I figure that out?

Thanks in advance,
Sharon

what is the url?
have you looked at the theme source to see if it has been hacked?

If you look at the source you will see it ends with
HTML Code:
		<!-- / Left Sidebar -->
		
				

		<!-- Main Column -->
		<td id="middle">
This generally indicates that the content of the last post the user made is causing a problem. Many times this is because the user has copied from a Word document and pasted into the post. The problem is Word documents contained embedded word styling that cause WordPress to choke.

Go into the site and make the last couple of posts drafts and see what happens.

I set the last couple of months of posts to draft to see what would happen. But nothing did. What might the NEXT reason for that 'hanging' bit be? Thanks!

could also be the plugins in the left sidebar starting with the last one.

You can also add
HTML Code:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
to the wp-config.php to see what error is happening and/or look at the sites error log.
