Hi all,

I'm doing some work for a client where I need to export the entries from his blogs. I've logged into the account using the top level account.

All the entries are gone. I can still see all the authors, etc... but the entries, comments are gone.

My client says he didn't delete them and I haven't either.

His MT setup is set to write to a flat file and is not using mysql.

Where can I start to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

I've just encountered something similar. A friend goes away from his blog for a week, comes back, and finds that his entries have vanished.

His comments are still there, and the main menu says he still has 2962 posts, and I'm able to access individual posts if I go through an individual comment, but they don't show up when I view entries, and it's impossible to post.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you both may be experiencing database corruption. You might want to see if you can get a back up of the database and restore, though you may lose some data.

If you have access to the Knowledge Base, you might want to see the following article - Recovery from database corruption.
