Autosave malfunctioning
-
I’m creating a new blog post. The AutoSave feature is malfunctioning in that it goes from Save to Saving… and then gets stuck there without actually saving my work. This is on my iPad.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi, I’ve just posted a new blog post at gavinwhyte.org and I also had issues with autosave. I was using a Mac. It kept on saying there was an error with the autosave, and when I pressed Publish it said there was an error publishing my post. I went to check my post, and it had been publishing(?) This is not the first time I’ve had this issue, and brought to the attention of the WP team last time.
-
It still doesn’t work for me, and none of the above has given me a solution. I’ve had to revert back to using my laptop to make blog posts, which is thoroughly frustrating since I chose WP as the new home for my blog because of the way it works with iStuff.
Gavin, the first time you brought it to the WP team, did they respond or have a solution?
-
Hi, yes, they responded, but they didn’t have a solution. They told me that others had been having a similar problem, and they hoped to have the issue resolved by the end of the month. This was around May/June.
I’m assuming that even though it doesn’t say it has autosaved, it has saved anyhow, just like how it says there’s a problem publishing the post but then publishes the post(!)
Please let me know if you hear anything of how to fix it.

The very strangest coincidental thing is that shortly after posting my last message, I was starting a new blog post on my iPad, and the Autosave has been working normally! I have no idea why, I did nothing differently, but I’m not complaining — hope it keeps up, and that you have similar luck.
(When it was malfunctioning for me, it was *not* saving continuously, as in your case of it saying there was a problem publishing but actually working.)
-
Cool, good to know… I’ll keep an eye on it, and any further problems I’ll get in touch with the WP team to see if we can get to the bottom of it.
Thanks for sharing :)
