Posts not showing up in Wordpress

12 replies
I am having trouble with two sites - first one is about a month old - this blog post doesn't show up under "Latest" or on the front page at all - only by looking at the direct link:- The Time Management Game | Chrono Sapien | Intelligent Time Management

I tried getting support in the Wordpress support forum and they pointed towards Quick Cache plugin as being a possible problem.

So far I have,
  • deactivated all plugins
  • changed theme
  • cleared the cache
  • deleted Quick Cache
  • Deleted all Quick Cache files from server
  • Installing a new cache plugin and running that

I still have the same problem. I also started a site yesterday that has four posts and none visible except through the direct link.

Please help - this is going to kill my sites...:confused:

    Uhm?
    It seems to work for me. Have you tried to clear your browser's cache?
    Take a look at the picture :

    @wordpressguru: thanks, but the point is that my new post (the one you can see through the direct link I gave) isn't showing - except only through the direct link. It's the same with a site I only started two days ago with a different theme - I have 4 posts and none can be seen except through the direct link.

    @Webdevelopmentgroup - thanks but I am in Ireland - can you Skype?

      Correct me if I'm wrong:
      You say that the post can be seen only by direct link. Also, that post is not appearing on the front page and also, is not appearing on the widget under "Latest" tab.

      Here is what I see: That post is 7'th post on the front page (you can see that even on the picture attached on my previous message). I have clicked on post's link and everything seems to work normally.
      On the "Latest" tab, that post is not appearing because the limit of showing posts is 5. Therefore, that post could not be on the "Latest" tab, because is the latest 7'th post.

    Hi Wordpressguru,
    The top post in the screenshot (and on my blog) is the review of Max Capacity Training (the yellow book), but my last post that I posted is the one you can see directly on this link: The Time Management Game | Chrono Sapien | Intelligent Time Management
    But this post doesn't show up as my last post...?
    I also changed the limit of posts in the widget to 50 and the Max Capacity post shows as the latest, no sign of the Time Management Game...

      Change the post date of The Time Management Game | Chrono Sapien | Intelligent Time Management
      Log in to your wordpress dashboard and go to Posts -> All Posts.
      Hover the post title The time Management Game and choose Quick Edit.
      Then, change the Date to today's date and click on Update button.
      Also, don't forget to empty the cache if you have some cache plugin installed (like W3 Total Cache or Wp Super Cache).
      All posts are displayed in descending order based on date. The last post (one with the yellow book) was posted on November 27, 2013. The post in discussion was posted on November 11, 2013.

      Hope it will help.

        AWESOME! I have no idea how I did that and it really had me worried- thanks dude... I really appreciate that! I looked at the other site - and even though the posts were pulled in by an RSS feed on that one (it's partially an autoblog) the same issue was there - they showed as published a month ago even though the site didn't exist then - any ideas why this happened?

        Thanks,
        Dave

    Can you perhaps post the code of your index.php or front-page.php so we can see if there are some issue with how the posts are being retrieved.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8757862].message }}

      Sure..

      Index.php:

      <?php
      /**
      * Index Template
      *
      * The index template is a placeholder for all cases that don't have a template file.
      * Ideally, all fases would be handled by a more appropriate template according to the
      * current page context (for example, `tag.php` for a `post_tag` archive or `single.php`
      * for a single blog post).
      *
      * @package WooFramework
      * @subpackage Template
      */

      get_header();
      global $woo_options;
      ?>
      <!-- #content Starts -->
      <?php woo_content_before(); ?>
      <div id="content" class="col-full">

      <div id="main-sidebar-container">

      <!-- #main Starts -->
      <?php woo_main_before(); ?>
      <div id="main" class="col-left">

      <?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' ); ?>

      </div><!-- /#main -->
      <?php woo_main_after(); ?>

      <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

      </div><!-- /#main-sidebar-container -->

      <?php get_sidebar( 'alt' ); ?>

      </div><!-- /#content -->
      <?php woo_content_after(); ?>

      <?php get_footer(); ?>



      and I can't see a front page template, just a page one:

      <?php
      /**
      * Page Template
      *
      * This template is the default page template. It is used to display content when someone is viewing a
      * singular view of a page ('page' post_type) unless another page template overrules this one.
      * @link Pages « WordPress Codex
      *
      * @package WooFramework
      * @subpackage Template
      */

      get_header();
      ?>

      <!-- #content Starts -->
      <?php woo_content_before(); ?>
      <div id="content" class="col-full">

      <div id="main-sidebar-container">

      <!-- #main Starts -->
      <?php woo_main_before(); ?>
      <div id="main">
      <?php
      woo_loop_before();

      if (have_posts()) { $count = 0;
      while (have_posts()) { the_post(); $count++;
      woo_get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); // Get the page content template file, contextually.
      }
      }

      woo_loop_after();
      ?>
      </div><!-- /#main -->
      <?php woo_main_after(); ?>

      <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

      </div><!-- /#main-sidebar-container -->

      <?php get_sidebar( 'alt' ); ?>

      </div><!-- /#content -->
      <?php woo_content_after(); ?>

      <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Hey there DoubleOhDave,

    This might seem very simple, but have you tried to check the status of your post? -- Just to make sure it has really been published.

    In case of a hurry, you might have missed clicking "Publish" and only pushed "Save Draft".

    According to what I can see in my previous experiences with Wordpress, posts are visible if you have the direct link even if you haven't published them.

    So, check the status -- that's my tip.

    Hope it helps!

    Take care,
    Sven

      No, you can't see the post through direct link if the post was saved as draft. Have you tried this? Because I'm working right now on a wp based website and I couldn't reach the post (previously saved as draft) by direct link.

      Maybe the RSS software you use is retrieving the post's date from the website you use as source and publish all posts on your website with the date retrieved from that RSS source.

        I'll have to look into it, but all the same I am really relieved to have the time management site back - that's my baby at the moment - thanks a lot!
