bellringr Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 My saved but unpublished posts do not show in my preview pane. I'm seeing my blog template as it should look, but instead of my saved post, it says, "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria." Once it is published, I can see it when modifying the post. I reinstalled WP twice, no change. Everything else works fine. Just so you know, I don't know much of anything about php. The only solution I found on the WP site involved changing the single.php file, but my template doesn't have that file. So I took the single.php file from the default theme, copied into mine, uploaded it, but that only made it worse. I don't use categories in this blog - everything goes into General. Any ideas/suggestions? I got no response back from my post on the WP site. Thanks much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Which version are you using? I believe this feature was a little buggy in the first release of 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Doh. Just read the title of the post. Just to be clear: You write a brand new post, hit "Save" (or "Save and Continue Editing"?), and when you go back into the draft you can't see it in the preview pane. Once you Publish the post, you are able to see it in the preview pane when editing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abinidi Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 *Paul goes out on a limb here... Have you tried looking at your error log to see what file is trying to be called but can't be seen? Heck, it probably doesn't even throw an error. So this probably wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 How do you have your permalinks set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I tried helping Kristi and even sent a copy of Wordpress I've installed on 5 different blogs and it's still not working for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinidi Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Time for a trip to the ever helpful help desk? Sounds like it may be server related... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I can't find anything and can't recreate the problem in 2.0.2 or 2.0.1. What did you find on the WP site about changing single.php? All I could find was something about a guy who saves his posts and they disappear completely. *TCH-Tim goes back to waiting for the Wordpress fairy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinidi Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) There's a WordPress fairy? Does she come an leave a dollar under your pillow for every post you make to your blog? If so, where do I sign up to be on her route?!?! Edited April 20, 2006 by abinidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellringr Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yep, Bruce tried to help me fix it last weekend but no go. I didn't have permalinks set up at all but he had me do so in hopes that it would fix the problem. Then he sent me the files to reinstall which also didn't help. I suspect it has something to do with my template which I've been using since WP1.2 but I wouldn't know where to start looking. Here's what was posted on the WP forums regarding single.php: Does the preview use the index.php template code? If so, then it would seem that I've messed something up when I tried to implement a category listing in the sidebar, as per this post. OK, I found the error and fixed it. The Page Preview uses the single.php file from your theme. In trying to get the sidebar to include some category information, I did some tinkering with how the single pages displayed and messed it up. Totally my fault. Ahhh the pain of the school of hard knocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Tim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't have a single.php either, just index.php, so I'm not sure that would be it. Have you tried using a different theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I would try switching to the default theme. If the issue still persists then you know its not your theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have themes with and without the single.php so I don't think that is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellringr Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 I would try switching to the default theme. If the issue still persists then you know its not your theme. Oh duhhh...that would be the logical thing to do, wouldn't it? Tried, it still had the problem. So nope, not my template. The only plugins I use are SK2 and wp-grins What else could I have screwed up on each installation? I followed the directions on the WP site as religiously as I possibly could.

TCH-Tim Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Weird. Did it used to work, or do you have any other sites on that same server that do or don't do the same thing? With Fantastico it's easy enough to install some test sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellringr Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) It works fine on hubby's blog, and I did his upgrade first (less content to have to restore! ) I just upgraded them last weekend, and 1.5 didn't have this feature. The old way of previewing worked, though. Edited April 21, 2006 by bellringr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Here's an idea. Install a fresh copy into another folder. Import the current database into it. If it works, rename your current folder to something else and then name the new folder your current folder. If it's still working delete the old folder and DB.

bellringr Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 OK, I'll give that a shot. Thanks, Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
