When you cannot see published blog posts on your Blogger site, it can be frustrating. However, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem. This guide will help you identify and fix the issue preventing your blog posts from appearing.

1. Check HTML for Errors

If you are experiencing issues with missing or misplaced tags, errors in your HTML code might be to blame. Here's how to resolve this:

Go to the Blogger Dashboard. Navigate to Theme. Edit HTML. Use validators like the W3C Validator to check your HTML for any common issues, such as missing closing tags or incorrectly nested elements.

2. Restore Default Theme Temporarily

If you have made extensive changes to your HTML and cannot find the error, consider reverting to the default theme for a temporary fix.

Go to Theme. Backup/Restore. Restore to revert to a previous version.

3. Clear Browser Cache and Try Incognito Mode

Browser cache issues can sometimes prevent you from seeing updated blog posts. Try these steps to resolve this:

Clear your browser cache. Alternatively, open your blog in incognito mode to rule out local cache issues.

4. Disable Custom Scripts

Custom scripts like JavaScript added to your theme might interfere with the display of your posts. Here's what to do:

Temporarily disable these custom scripts. Check if the posts then appear.

5. Check for Third-Party Widgets

Third-party widgets or plugins might be causing conflicts. Here’s how to address this:

Disable these widgets or plugins one by one to identify any that might be causing issues. Re-enable them one by one to pinpoint the problematic plugin.
