How Do I Disable The Auto-Saving Function?

How do I turn off the auto-save function? I tried the disable autosave plugin and it doesn't work. Then, I added the following to my functions.php file but my articles continue to autosave:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_autosave' );
function disable_autosave() {
wp_deregister_script( 'autosave' );
}

Nothing seems work. Suggestions?

Hi there,

That's strange. The code seems correct.

Also, can you try disabling ALL plugins and change theme to a WordPress default and see if the snippet works?

Do your host have any page caching feature on its tools? Can you try clearing it and check?

Let us know.
