I have a blog installed on my site using Wordpress. Last week I upgraded Wordpress from 2.6 to 3.0.4 (I had to do this manually).

All went well, or so I thought, but I have just noticed that the content of an existing page has vanished. The page URL still works, but all content has disappeared - doctype, html tags, body tags, everything.

Please note, this is specific to pages - posts are still displaying fine.

I have since created a brand new page which does not display the content either.

Things I have tried include

  • Switching to a freshly installed theme
  • Deactivating all plugins
  • Setting the problem page to draft, and back again
  • Deleting the .htaccess file

I suspect it's a database problem and have contacted my hosting company who have said the only thing they can do is restore the DB from a backup, but that I should consider it a last resort.

Does anyone have any further ideas what to try?
