    - BlogJet 2.0.0.10 Trial
    - Windows 7
    - Wordpress 2.8.4

    The blog URLs don't seem relevant since it's happening with all of them.

    I've just noticed that, as I post new blog entries, old ones - as in, the ones at the very beginning of my blog - are disappearing from the BlogJet history. They still appear in my blog just fine and I get no error messages. But those older blog entries are no longer available through BlogJet.

    Is this a "feature" of the trial version? Is there a finite number of blog posts that BlogJet can hold, and when it's full, it starts dumping old ones from history?

    While I do have a method in place now for an alternate way to retrieve those old blog posts (see this forum post), it's a time-consuming pain in the butt that I'd rather not have to go through.

    Is there a way to fix this or is it going to keep happening?

    This is, indeed, strange. Does one post disappear for every post you publish? Or when you click "Refresh" in Recent Posts window? If the latter, BlogJet first clears its local cache and then retrieves the number of posts specified (so if it was 10, and you published a post and clicked "Refresh", it receives 10 most recent posts, dropping the oldest one from cache).

    Anyway, I noticed (in your blog post about BlogJet) that you want to keep your posts in BlogJet as a backup. I strongly suggest against relying on it, because BlogJet currently considers its local history of posts as a cache (to speed up working with posts), not as a permanent storage. It only considers local drafts (available via Save/Open menu items) as a permanent storage. I suggest using the backup feature built into WordPress.

    (Of course, this doesn't explain or justify the bug you've encountered, it's just a suggestion, as I consider reliable backups very important).

    Thank you!

    I don't rely on BlogJet as my sole source of backups. I also keep backups of the Wordpress database. But like you said, it doesn't explain the problem.

    No, the number of posts that disappears seems unrelated as sometimes it's one, sometimes it's ten or more. As well, this is for blogs with 200 or more posts when retrieving the most recent 10, so according to that theory, it should drop all but the latest ten.

    At this point, I believe it's moot since BlogJet is really not working for me, unfortunately.
