 * Can WordPress take entries, fail to write those entries to the database, and 
   still keep those entries on the blog?
 * The reason I am asking is because I was studying my database for [http://totalphysiqueonline.com/](http://totalphysiqueonline.com/)
   and unless my eyes deceive me, the entire month of Decembers entries is not showing
   up in my wp_posts datafield. How can this be? Is the wp_posts data field the 
   field that contains all of your entries? Should it contain an entry the instant
   an entry is posted and saved?
 * I am new to databases, so all of this may seem elementary to you guys, but I 
   do not trust my level of expertise enough to trust my own eyes, which clearly
   tell me that there are ZERO entries from the month of December. And December 
   has about 20 entries if you count the ones you see when you visit my blog.
 * If WP stores entries in places other than wp_posts, then where would I find it.
   The same thing goes for Bad Behavior. If Bad Behavior does not have a visible
   datafield that can be seen at the homepage of the database MYSQL home page, then
   where is the datafield for Bad Behavior hiding?
 * Go Daddy tells me that the database HAS to be working fine in order for all of
   my entries for December to be showing up. So……..where the heck are they hiding
   on the database then 🙂
 * Thanks

 * “_Can WordPress take entries, fail to write those entries to the database, and

 * No.
 * If you’re not finding them in the database, then either A. you’re looking in 
   the wrong database, or B. you’re just not seeing them for whatever reason (but
   not because they’re _not_ there, because they _have_ to be).

 * Hey Kaf.
 * This is what I sortof inuitively thought, but where does WP place the entries
   then? If not in the wp_posts datafield, then where?

 * Blog posts (and Pages) are stored in the posts table, which when the table prefix
   used is “wp_” would be called wp_posts. They are stored nowhere else.

 * Well, that is what I thought. I am certain you are right. It’s just that I don’t
   think my eyes are deceiving me. I studied that table carefully, and it does not
   contain posts from December. Perhaps I just do not know where to look inside 
   wp_posts, but it says only 66 items are there, and I saw all 66, and none are
   from December. Sigh.
