Self-Updating Post on Log-In

  • Hello,

    My site has an issue where every time I log into wordpress, one specific post on my site will update itself. There are no changes to the post, it says that I updated the post. The timestamp for the post update is always the exact time I logged in. Every time I open the post while logged into wordpress, it also ‘updates’ in the same fashion.

    This is an issue because these posts on my site are all ordered chronologically but since this post is constantly being ‘updated’, it is always the top, most recent post despite the fact that it is almost a year old.

    I am using a custom theme.
    I have tried deactivating all plugins and this did not stop the issue.

    What can I do to fix this?

    This not the defoult behavior of the WordPress core.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
