One side of my pocket door came down. The inside upper part of the
door has a post that goes into the rollers that run on the track. The
post came out of the roller. Does anyone have a solution other than
breaking the wall to install new hardware? Has anyone had this
problem?

Thank you.

One way or another, you have to get at the faulty roller to
replace/repair it. However, there is no need to "break the
wall"...all you should need to do is remove the top trim on the
opening.

If the "post" has slipped out, perhaps just lifting the door up would
fix it (back into position/latched). There may be a small latch on
the roller needing to be locked.

Look at the jam at the top of the door. With mine one side is held in with
a few screws so it can be removed to give access to the rollers. There is a
nut that 'locks' the stud in the top of the door to the roller, but others
might have a clip of some sort.
