Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a strange issue in the WordPress backend:
Under “Pages”, it says 223 pages are published – but none of them are listed.
The same happens in the Media Library: the counter shows the correct number of items, but no media is visible.
However, when I use the Media Sync plugin, I can browse and see all uploaded files sorted by month – so the files are definitely there.
What I’ve tried so far:
– Deactivated all plugins
– Cleared all caches (WP Fastest Cache, Autoptimize, etc.)
– Theme was not changed
– Checked the database (no errors reported by plugins)
– No visible PHP or WordPress errors
– I have a full backup but would prefer not to roll back blindly to a May version
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
Could it be related to user roles, filters in wp-admin, database issues, or REST API access?
I’d be very grateful for any tips!
Best regards,
JJ
