    An important discussion from a year back has disappeared from my discussion page. I have not looked at it for some time. Nothing shows up in the editor. I am hoping it is still there somewhere. I have searched the Discussion Settings hoping for some sign that posts are archived somewhere after a given time or something but there is nothing there.

    -you can look around in the database (normally available in your web hosting account in an area PHPMYADMIN) for the following tables: yourprefix_comments, yourprefix_commentmeta

    -if you have older database backup copies you could look in the older versions of the database too for the tables

    -if your “discussion” did not use “comments”, you might need to explore inside other tables in the database.

    Thanks. Could you give me a hint where to look. The cpanel search facility on the site does not find PHPMYADMIN

    for specific guidance about finding things like where the database is stored in your individual web hosting area – please contact your the support team of your web hosting account.

    Hi,

    the archived pages do not show any content either (starting June 2022), see https://web.archive.org/web/20220627181535/https://avantgardescience.com/discussion/

    Nor can I find any comments on your site. What exactly are you looking for? A post, a page, comments?

    Hi. Thank you. I did not know I could do that. On the Discussion page there were 4 posts. That is the only place on the site comments are allowed.

    I was very surprised to find that the posts only appeared when I clicked on the date of the thread. I am still getting started understanding comments. Now nothing!

    Thanks Lisa. It is standard CPanel. I can connect with ftp but it only shows me the same structure.

    Thanks for all the help. Seems like they are gone. Marking as resolved.
