A user reported an issue where whispers disappear from the display but remain in the database. The problem occurs when the post-voting plugin is enabled in a category. patrickemin noticed that whispers are visible initially but vanish upon refreshing the page. Moin explained that whispers and small action posts are only visible in the ‘activity’ view when post voting is enabled. patrickemin acknowledged the explanation but highlighted significant issues, such as whispers never being visible if there’s only one initial message or if the default view is set to voting mode.
Hi, a little curiosity, until now I didn’t have a problem with whispers. I just created one on a post I authored as admin, and the whisper appears in the post. However, as soon as I refresh the page, it disappears - it’s not deleted since it appears in my activity. But it does disappear from the display. Weird, is’nt it? 
After testing whispers do not appear after topic cooked when the Discourse Post Voting plugin is enabled in that category.
Happens in safe mode too.
Whispers and small action posts (like auto bumps or pins) are only visible in the “activity” view of a topic where post voting is enabled.
Thank you for your reply. it explains the behavior but it poses some fairly significant problems firstly, if there is only one initial message in a discussion and no reply, the whispers will never be visible even though they exist secondly, by default we are in voting mode and not by activity, so the whispers will never be visible either.
