Cant Disable Autosave In Gutenberg ...
4 replies · Started by Patrick on May 6, 2021
It is killing my workflow ;-(
I tried the Disable Gutenberg Autosave plugin, it doesn't work.
I added the following code to our functions.php file, it doesn't work:
add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_autosave' );
function disable_autosave() {
wp_deregister_script( 'autosave' );
}
Any other suggestions or ideas?
Also just tried adding this to wp-config.php, it didn't work.
define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 60*60*60*24*365 ); // Set autosave interval to 1x per year
define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', false ); // Do not save any revisions
Hi Patrick,
I feel like your code should work and not sure why it isn't working for you.
Unfortunately this is something you will need to check with WordPress' support team.
I did ... they blamed it on my theme ;-)
Hmm the theme itself should not interfere with the Gutenberg editor at all.
Easy to test though - does the code work when using Twenty Twenty-one?
