I’ve hit the wildest bug in WordPressMy last posts are Schrodinger’s post – they both do and do not exist.
Here is my blog, where the front page and the post listings show that the last post was a quip about AI. Here is also my blog showing that there are two more posts after that.
For those in Fedi-land or not mousing over the images, they are:
My front page missing two postsThe admin area list view missing the postsThe next and previous in the theme seeing the postsEditorial calendar showing themThe post view page showing the ADHD post that “doesn’t exist”Update: Missing post 1; missing post 2

@lordmatt I wonder if it is the fact that the posts contain replies? If so, this too will not show up.

@lordmatt That’s an odd one! I’d be curious about how your site is set up. Do you use the regular Sempress theme? Do you have any code snippet that may change the way posts are returned in some queries, maybe by hooking into a filter like pre_get_posts?

@lordmatt fwiw I cannot reproduce on my own site right now. I wonder if another plugin on your site may customize the main query. Could you deactivate the Friends plugin, and see if that fixes anything?

@lordmatt Ah, I think I may have found something! I’ll comment on the GitHub issue. Thanks for the report!
