    Hi all.


    I have just connect to modx this morning, and all my posts from Articles have disappeared.

    Actually, you can still see them when visiting the website. But my articles manager is blank.

    Did anybody has ever experienced that ?

    My config:
    MODX Revolution 2.2.2-pl (traditional)
    Articles 1.6.1


    Any comments are welcome.

      Have you recently performed any updates?
        Website: Extended Dialog Development Blog: on Extended Dialog

        Failure is just another word for saying you didn't want to try. "It can't be done" means "I don't know how".

        Hi Fuzzical, thanks for taking the time to answer me.

        I didn't update anything, this is why it is weird. Do you think I should update the plugin Articles ?


        Only one post was published this week end. 6 posts were published in total, but none are in Articles Manager.

          This only I have done that I remember, I have added a "Class" in TinyMCE settings.

          But I could that make posts disappear ?

            Can you create a new article, and have it show in the Articles management?

            The TinyMCE doesn't have anything to do with loading the resources into Articles, it's only triggered when you actually open a page for editing.

              Hi sottwell.

              I can't see new articles that I have just created.

              And you were right, I have uninstalled TinyMCE, it had no effect.

                Well, in your situation I would try upgrading Articles. There isn't much it can do to hurt.

                  Oh my gosh, even the package management is empty. Like I have never downloaded any plugin.


                  My website is hosted with godaddy. And Yesterday Godaddy was hacked:
                  http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2012/sep/10/godaddy-hacked-domain-registrar-anonymous?newsfeed=true


                  Do you think it there might be link between the hack and my website ?


                  I am gonna try a modx update. Is it a good idea ?

                    Sounds more like some kind of database corruption. Use their phpMyAdmin to take a look at the modx_transport_packages table. You should see a bunch of entries like "wayfinder-2.3.3-pl" and all the other fields filled in, some with JSON strings like "attributes" and "metadata".

                    An upgrade never hurts. Do you have a recent backup?

                      Ok, I have just made an update of Modx which worked fine.

                      The package management is working, and I have updated articles... but still nothing.

                      Also, by curiosity, I have created a new blog... which works fine!

                      Do you think it is a good idea if I just copy and paste the articles in this new blog ?

                      Thanks for your help.
