First of all I did a manual upgrade of the wordpress site. I did everything by the book. I disabled all plugins, did all the backups.

I upgraded to the new version, everything went fine.

Only that I lost all content.

I switched from my custom themes to default one (Twenty Eleven 1.3) still my content seems to be gone.

On my php my admin page I SEE my content, they are not lost, just now shown.

Question, what do I need to do to make it appear?

I did upgrade the database during the install, it seems something went wrong.

Please help!

Thank you in advance!

EDIT1: I added errors after enabling debugging mode. The hungarian text reads: the use of register_sidebar_widget is no longer supported since version 2.8. I beleive this error was there earlier, since I upgraded from version 2.9.x.

All help appriciated!

  • At this point, you need to work with a developer directly. There isn't a way we can further diagnose the problem without actually seeing the admin side of things and looking very closely at your site and database. That kind of work doesn't fit the format of this site ... I'll eventually close this as "Too Localized," but I'll keep it open for now to give you a chance to follow up with those who have left comments below. I personally recommend moving this conversation to the chat room or to the support forums.

    Well, he won't be able to chat since he doesn't have 20 reputation, so that's out. If he can get it, I'll be happy to chat with him in a private room to bash this out.

This is just a guess, mind you, but it's still worth a shot.

First, turn on debug mode and see if there's any glaring errors when trying to view your content. If not (and I'm thinking there won't be, but I would feel quite silly if there were errors pointing to the issue), then roll everything back to 2.8 (database and files)and manually upgrade to 3.0.x. If your content is still there once that's done, back up your database again then upgrade to 3.3.x.

Edit: At this point, it's either a theme issue or a plugin issue. The function register_sidebar_widget has been replaced with wp_register_sidebar_widget, and register_widget_control with wp_register_widget_control. First things first, switch to the default theme (Twenty Eleven). If your content shows up, we've narrowed it down to the theme, and you can just find/replace the former function with the latter.

If the theme's not the problem, then it's a plugin generating a specific widget. Remove all your widgets and re-add them one by one. Whichever plugin generates the widget causing the failure is the offending plugin, and can be updated or replaced.

    Ah, now we're getting somewhere! At this point, it's either a theme issue or a plugin issue. The function register_sidebar_widget has been replaced with wp_register_sidebar_widget. First things first, switch to the default theme. If your content shows up, we've narrowed it down to the theme, and you can just find/replace the former function with the latter. If it's not the theme, then make sure your plugins are compatible with 3.x - if one isn't, chances are the function is in there. Once that function's fixed we'll see if anything else is going on.

    Ensure you're using the Twenty Eleven Theme. Disable all Plugins. Remove all Widgets. Then, if your content still doesn't appear, report back with any Fatal Error PHP notices. Also: do you have a URL for the site in question?

  • At this point, go with Chip's advice - switch to Twenty Eleven and disable all plugins, then re-enable them one by one. If there's still no content with all plugins disabled, let us know - there's a zlib compression error being thrown currently that may point to an issue with the host itself if the plugins aren't at fault.
