I recently upgraded to 6.12 which went smooth. An upgrade of CCK didn’t go as well and I had to reinstall that module. I don’t see any errors in the drupal logs now so things should be working smoothly, but they aren’t. This issue is filed under Drupal-update since modules no longer are enabled on my system, but the error remains.

For some reason nothing new gets published to the front page. I can see the posts in RSS and under “content” in the administration menu, but nothing on the front page.
The checkbox for “publish to front page” is ticked so that shouldn’t be the problem. I’ve tried the “publish” button from the “content” administration menu but nothing happens there either.

I have currently disabled all modules so there isn’t anything that should interfere but things just refuse to show up.

Although I think that this is a bug and would help in any way I can to solve it, I will report it as a support request to not clog up the bug queue if I'm misstaken.

I don't know if this is related but trying to uninstall CCK gives this error...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function content_notify() in /usr/share/drupal/sites/all/modules/fileframework/contrib/cck/file_cck.install on line 38

There was an error in CCK that has now been fixed but the original issue still persists. CCK is disabled on my system so it shouldn't interfere.

I just found out that if I make the content "sticky" then it WILL show up on the front page. Remove stickiness will make it disappear again. I don't want to make every blog post I write "sticky" though.
Is there a way to fix this?

first thing that should be done is to update core to 6.13 and cck if needed to it's latest release to ensure that what you are running into isn't a bug that already been fixed. It helps to know which version of cck is in use at this time as well.

It may also be beneficial to know from which versions you upgraded in both core and cck. So that others can track back and do some research.

ensure to run update.php with the upgrade to 6.13 pay special attention to the settings.php file as with the release of 6.13 settings.php has been changed and should replace your existing settings.php to ensure that the change that went it winds up in your system

Thanks to a very helpful person on #drupal-support called BrandTim this issue is now solved.

The problem was that a lot of blogposts were marked as sticky. Over 300, which prevented new "non sticky" content to show up. The mysql-query
SELECT n.nid, n.sticky, n.created FROM node n WHERE n.promote = 1 AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.sticky DESC, n.created DESC;
showed this and once we found this out it was only a matter of "unstickify" all posts.

Problem, and mystery, solved.

Again, a big thanks to BrandTim.
