Items gone missing after WP3 upgrade

  • I’ve noticed some issues when upgrading from an earlier version of WP that a lot of things “go missing”

    I upgraded from 2.9.2 last night and on some posts I’m missing all of the comments even though they still exist in the database and are still showing up on the admin screen. This only happens on some posts, not all of them.

    I’ve also had a similar problem with a plugin that I wrote. It creates a new content type called “reusable” and although the reusables are saving just fine in the database, an empty array is returned when I run my get_posts(array(“post_type” => “reusable”)) function.

    I’ve had some people asking me about this so I know I’m not the only one.

    I haven’t had any of these problems on a fresh install of WP3.

    You may need to repair the database.

    Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose “Repair tables” from the pull-down menu.

    Apparently the comments problem is an issue with my theme, they show up in the twentyten theme and my old theme, but as far as I can tell I’m using mostly the same code in my new theme which is odd.

    As far as the custom content type — thats just weird, works fine on a fresh install.

    What’s the name of your current theme?

    You could try to replicate that in another standard troubleshooting procedure.

    Download WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories with fresh copies from the download.
