ETA: I'm seeing a recent bug fix for custom headers for Fanwood Light in our ticket system, so I'm going to assume this was the case here, and that all is well. :)

Custom Header in WordPress 3.0

Open http://openairoutreach.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/sharing-your-faith-conference-theology-consistent-with-evangelism-jesse-morrell/ in the editor, make a minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it and then update the post and your main page should go back to normal.

On a different subject, you are using far too many tags on your posts. Using more than 10 or 12 will get you excluded from the WordPress.com global tags pages, which can increase your readership and also improve your standings in the search engines. Secondly, using so many tags will get you branded as a tag spammer by the search engines and they will then simply ignore any tags you put on your posts, and in some cases may mean they will quit indexing your site entirely.

It is best to use 10-12 very carefully chosen tags and to keep the total number of tags and categories assigned to a post around 12 or so.

I have been running the twenty ten theme for a while now.

But for the past couple weeks, the widgets on the side and a few posts won't appear on my home page. They appear when I go to another page though.

Most blog posts appear but some disappear. The blog posts that disappear on the home page will appear at first, for a few seconds, and then will disappear...

My blog is http://openairoutreach.wordpress.com

I have been trying to change the theme to see if that helps, but the same problem occurs with most of them. The widgets have appeared in one or two different themes on the home page, but not the posts that disappeared. And I really like the way everything is set up in Twenty Ten so I don't want to change it, but only want to fix it.

The problems are the same even when I change computers...

Any suggestions?

Your site seems ok to me here: http://v01unt4ry.wordpress.com/

The problem is probably that with the URL you posted below, you used https, which wouldn't work for your blog URL (but it would for your dashboard, which may be where the confusion lies).

I hope that helps!

Now it has disappeared. It no longer shows up under My Blogs, visiting the URL just shows a blank page.

@raincoaster
BandPage is not a code based widget. Maybe the problem stemmed from their server.

:)

Thanks.

I have written 2 posts now that when I push publish it says they have been posted and then they disappear. I am sick of this!

I am not going to re write my post, I shouldn't have to do that.

Fix this or lots of people will be leaving.

Thanks for doing that, I appreciate it... I was going spare wondering what I could do next.

However, since I got impatient with it I decided to keep trying to see if I could do anything... I ended up repeatedly looking at the cache and making sure it was clear and then rebooting.

For some unknown reason for four times rebooting there was no change and no posts possible and then after the 5th re-boot I went back to the Editor and tried for the umpteenth time to copy /paste my text into the post and it saved it!!!!

One virtual happy dance later and a rush to add the photos before the computer changed it's mind... and the update still worked !
(yeaaaa!!!)

it seems to have solved itself and been working ok.. so far tonight at least :)

The only problem I have at the moment is that I now have an empty post for scheduled time 01:00 on Dec 1st that still has "missed schedule" next to it and I can't even send that post to the trash (I tried 10 or 11 times, no luck) seems I'm stuck with that one "bad" post.

I think you can cancel the call to Staff... but if my scheduled post for tomorrow doesn't post I'll be back here pronto!!!

Thanks for the reply too... MUCH appreciated !!!
Wishing you an excellent evening.... kind regards... Kiwi :)

I have my post open in the editor and can see my photos, text just fine. I correct two small typos and decide to reword one sentence , and then pressed "update".

The computer thinks for a second, refreshes the page and everything has disappeared!!! No title, text or photos!

There's a message in red at the top that there's a more recent copy in my autosave (but it tells lies, all of those pages are blank)

Luckily my next step was to hit the "back" button and et Voila my text and photos are there!
Knowing from past experience that very I'm lucky to see it again, I immediately do a copy/paste and save it into Open Office Word doc. Cool, I have my text saved and my photos can be reinserted, so I'm taking a deep breath and trying to stay calm...

Ok... so last night I'm repeatedly trying to post my text back into the blank editor, every time I hit the "update"button it's gone again.

Rather than throw the laptop out the window in frustration I decide to try again this morning... maybe when the scheduled post becomes a published post all will be well... good thought, but wrong :(

My "posts'page should have the word "published"under today's date, instead it says " 11 hours ago" (time from when it was published) and underneath... in red letters "missed schedule".

My main page only shows yesterdays post, not even a blank page from today's.

I have cleared my cache and rebooted my computer .. still can't update a post without loosing everything. NOW I'm getting worried.

ANY and all help would be vastly appreciated, currently this is the first day I've missed posting in over 3 years of blogging... and it seems like it's totally out of my control.

PLEASE, is there anything I can do to get normal transmission back as soon as possible?
Many Thanks in advance...

p.s. I saved screen shots of each stage of the problem but don't know how to get that information into this post.
