My kitchen ceiling fan and exhaust fan/light over stove does not work but all outlets and stove in kitchen do work. Living room outlets on one side do not work, celing light in livinig room does not work and porch light (off from living room) quit working also. But the outlets on the opposite side of the room works. We tested all breakers and they seem to be testing just fine. Can someone help me, I’m sick of cooking with a coal miners hat/light!!! 
Everything else as far as outlets work!

You could have a sub panel. My mom had the same problem in her house. We started at the main breaker box.. and followed the wires.. We found 2 sub panels that each had breakers in them. It was in one of the sub panels that a breaker was tripped. We re-set it and it works fine. I’d follow the wires from your breaker box if you can before you call an electrician. It sure would stink to hire someone and pay a service call for them to flip a switch on a breaker.

turn off the power and start pulling out receptacles. look at the hot side which uses gold screws. there is a tab that connects the upper and lower screw terminals together. if that tab gets broken it can cause all kinds of weird things to happen. the tab is used for making switched receptacles called half hots. this can also occur on the neutral side (silver).

chances r it could b as simple as changing the outlet or plug. We just had and electrician in and the patio lights didn’t work and it was nothing more than the switch had to b changed.

Some circuits have a ground fault breaker which you will see on some outlets (little red and black buttons) these will break the circuit when there is a groud fault, you will generally find these on circuits where excessive moisture or water may be expected. (kitchen circuits, bathroom circuits, outdoor outlet circuits). Find these and press the reset button. Be careful though because circuits break for a reason and you should check them or have them checked by a qualified electrician.

first how did you test the breakers.
Your questions reads like you may have lost a circuit.
Turn all breakers to off,then with a slight pressure towards off to reset.
Check with voltage tester.
If there is still no power you probably have a loose connection at a wirenut joint or screw on a receptacle or switch.
Also check for GFCI receptacle that may need to be reset.
I say this because in older home 2 wire receptacles replaced w/3 wire receptacles must have GFCI protection and sticker on plate referring to such and no equipment ground.

perhaps you have a sub-panel somewhere you don’t know about.
