Not sure where to ask this question... disappearing page content?

Post by Joe The Plumber »

I posted this in the Layout forum, but it's not really a layout issue.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before? I did a search and found someone talking about a CSS not being loaded by the browser which caused his menu to look wrong. Maybe this is the same problem I am having, but it makes no sense.

If I re-open the page content through CMSMS, the content is all still there no problem. If I then re-save the page, it will then appear normal again in the browser.

But, randomly, content just DISAPPEARS and I have to open the page and re-save it to get it to re-appear.

It makes no sense! If the content is there, why doesn't it show up? And why does it just happen randomly to a page that was once a-okay?

I am using Maiahost to host my website if that means anything to anyone. Their customer support has been great so far and hopefully they will be able to help. But, if anyone else has had this problem with Maiahost and knows how to fix it, I'd love to hear the solution!

Try to enable debug in config.php
This display basic errors (ex: memory limit problem of your host) and smarty don't cache pages

Thanks again.

I just had another thought-- is it possible that someone is deleting the content, hitting APPLY and then hitting CANCEL? Nope, I just checked... there's no way you can make content not display if it's saved in CMSMS page, right? There is no box you can check or uncheck or something, I mean, right? I didn't see anything like that.

I'm just trying to eliminate the possibility of user error... Maiahost suggested that it was because the page doesn't validate, but the website has been working fine with no problems for 4 months already.
