Wordpress page content not showing up

Question

I am using the latest nightly build WordPress 3.0-beta2-14729 and the Theme TwentyTen. The content is not showing up where I indicated below. But when I go to the edit window, it is all there. Does anyone know what the problem is? The content in the edit box is ~400KB of text.

<div id="post-125" class="post-125 page type-page hentry"> 
<h1 class="entry-title">Post title</h1> 
<div class="entry-content">
// There should be something here
<span class="edit-link"><a class="post-edit-link" href="http://abp.bhc.com/wp-books-beta/aig/wp-admin/post.php?post=125&amp;amp;action=edit" title="Edit Post">Edit</a></span>                  </div><!-- .entry-content --> 
</div><!-- #post-125 --> 

the php code is:

<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

Answer 1

Are you sure is not still a draft your content? Is it published? Or is it static? I'm not seeing any embedded php code that should be inside entry-content.

Answer 2

I'd say you're hitting the memory limit/backtrace limit of the Preg Regular expressions on your server.

wpautop and wptexturize can sometimes hit it with larger posts.

Have a look at phpinfo() for pcre.backtrack_limit & pcre.recursion_limit (Report back on their size?)

You may be able to add this to your wp-config.php file:

ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', '100000');
ini_set('pcre.recursion_limit', '100000');

And see if that helps? You could try upping the limits even further if it doesnt, just to test it. (Note: Those values are what my default install has set, No idea if they're high enough, too high, or what)

There are some stories in the WP forums of post text limits in WP because of server and WP memory limits, where the post title shows but not the post content, but no clear solutions. Try a smaller post ~50k or ~100K and see what happens.

Try to simply increase overall memory for WP by using php_value memory_limit 64Min .htaccess; or this near the top of your wp-config.php file: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); or this in your php.ini, if you have access to it: memory_limit = 64M;
