I am going to keep this short, I am very new to Drupal.
Theme: Writer (should have no implication). View: I only changed the Frontpage View from Teaser to Full Page. This is a new site, very fresh install.
I changed a few blocks. Just content location. Assignment. Nothing special.
I added a test article and removed it.
I then added two new Articles. One after the other. Then I went to the second and changed the publication date to one day back. Then I went to the first and changed the publication date to one day back. The second one had 2 revisions, I deleted the first at some point.
Now at this point the first article had a later update time and showed above the second article [ for clarity, I mean in the content view]
I now added some 3 more posts, regular writing and posting.
I refresh the page. The front page lists full articles. I notice that the 2nd post (penultimate post on display, vertically in the list) does not have a Title!!!
It does not display a title. All the other posts have title. This post has a title too, but it does not show. I check the HTML and the (inspector) elements.
Other posts have a [h2] header (writing bracketed for convenience) but this one has no h2 header.
For no reason? I go into the content area. I go into the 2nd post (that has the earliest modification time) and update its publication time with a few seconds (later) so that it gets updated now after the first post. Now after this the 2nd post is displayed on top.
I refresh the page or go back into the view of the website. Now the H2 header does show and the title is visible again.
I have no other modules installed and this is a completely fresh install with the default set of modules. I don't think the theme should have any influence. The anomaly did not occur before (when there were fewer posts. Total number of posts when all of this happened: 4. This is a bit of a test site. All posts are Articles. So:
Display was:
Post 4
Post 3
Post 2 (missing title)
Post 1
Update order was:
Post 4 (newest)
Post 3
Post 1
Post 2 (oldest)
Creation order was:
Post 4 (newest)
Post 3
Post 2
Post 1 (oldest)
After updating post 2 and putting the time a little ahead (added some 4 seconds to it) the update order was:
Post 2 (newest)
Post 4
Post 3
Post 1 (oldest)
When I say I will keep this short I mean I will not do any troubleshooting for you. The problem is now gone (for now) and I am not willing to do reproduction work here.
Regards.
