Post Content disappeared (2.3.2)

No my post are not showing up in the content field. Only the posts that were there on my blog before the upgrade.

Has anyone figured this out?

Does the Database user need to be addressed? Or the user within wordpress (the administrator, editor, etc). I am leery of doing anything with the db user.

I don’t see using Phpadmin how I can change the user rights for the dbuser (version 2.6.0).

Success!!

In regards to MichaelH’s question:

2. If you look in the database table, wp_posts, what do you see in the post_content field?

wp_posts are empty, post_titles are not empty.

But in checking that, I just decided that this was probably going to take some time to get addressed seeing as no one has responded in a week. I just dumped a post directly into the database to see what would happen.

That seems to have fixed it. I also turned off: “Use the visual editor when writing” in the user profile but this was after I was able to start posting again.

Very strange.

I am having the same problem. It apparently has nothing to do with the database. I see new rows in the wp_posts table, however the post_content field is always empty. Moreover, if I manually update that column with some text using plain SQL, it will appear in the post and the editor screen. Attempting to append more text will not work, but the text I forced via a SQL update.
As best as I can tell the problem is with the TinyMCE editor. I sniffed the traffic being sent when I click ‘save’ or ‘publish’ or ‘save and continue’ and saw that the form field value ‘content’ is being sent to the server totally empty. So, this happens in both Safari and FireFox browsers on a mac.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I was using wordpress 2.3.1 and just updated to 2.3.2 (same problem in both), mySQL 5.0.45, php 5.2.5.

Thanks.

Okay, so I think I resolved it. After disabling the WYSIWYG options in my profile, posts suddenly began working properly.

I did did the thing where I disabled all plugins and re-enabled WYSIWYG and it worked okay. Evidently it was a conflict with the Currently Reading plugin.

Hope this helps others not waste an hour trying to searcha nd debug things ??

guomo I CANNOT thank you enough. After trying everything under the sun the fix this problem, (bar taking to my beloved mac with a hammer) you have sorted my problem in two easy steps.

muchos gracias
danke
thanks mate

I have also encountered this problem (though only parts of my content disappears not the whole thing), and have reproduced the problem on two different servers, neither having the above mentioned plug-in; so I don’t think it is a plug-in compatibility issue. Seems this is some type of bug between the program and the TinyMCE editor.

I created a new page and posted a mid-sized (validated) html table into the editor. It views perfect, and i can publish it, and it looks fine. However, when i go back to edit it, half of the content disappears and the editor seems to have lost the data in transit between itself and the database. The same thing happens only more quickly if you hit Save rather than Publish. After the save and going back into the editor the data is lost.

I’m going to try the above mentioned fix: disabling the WYSIWYG options in my user profile as the only plug-ins i have active are Search-Everything and Search Hilight.

I am with zammi that this is some sort of issue with TinyMCE. I upgraded another of the WP installs I admin and had the same issue.

The only thing that fixes it is to turn off the WYSIWYG options (“Use the visual editor when writing” in the user profile). I removed all my plugins and the only way to post content was to turn off WYSIWYG.
