All WordPress Posts Deleted
I was editing a post on Indian Recipes blog and when I clicked on update button all posts disappeared. This was a shock as I have never seen such kind of problem before in WordPress.
At first I thought that blog might have been infected with some malware as it is very common in WordPess blog. But a quick logical thinking ruled out malware.
I didn’t update any plugin so it was not a plugin issue as well.
The next logical step was to check the wp_posts table from phpMyAdmin which I did. And that is where I found the cause of this problem.
WordPress wp_posts table crashed
wp_posts table was marked as crashed.
So here it was, the problem was with wp_posts table, it was crashed for some reason and needed a repair.
Sigh of relief, in worst case I had to recover database from the backedup file.
If you click on wp_posts from the left pane you will see the error shown in above image.

You saved my life, I almost had heart attack when I saw all my post disappeared. I even didn’t backup before this happened.
