• I have been working with WordPress for sometime now and I’ve been reading a lot about how the autosave is such a pain in the a** when writing and editing, and it is! It autosaves every 3 seconds and jumps up to the top of the age we have to scroll back down to look for where we left off, this is a very annoying waste of time.

    I’ve tried the plugin wp cms post control – doesn’t work.

    I’ve tried what’s on https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/295244?replies=10 – doesn’t work.

    I’ve tried what’s on https://www.untwistedvortex.com/2008/06/27/adjust-wordpress-autosave-or-disable-it-completely/ – doesn’t work.

    I’m fed up, what does work already?! I see a lot of other solutions, but I’ve lost patients already, I was hoping someone had some insight on this problem and has found what really works.

    Sorry gang, I’m venting. Don’t mean to come across as a jerk, but really, when will WP have this as a setting under ‘writing’ anyway?

  • Hi christernyc,

    I have the same problem as you, and it is literally driving me crazy. When editing in “html”, text keeps jumping to the top every few seconds wich makes your job a missery, as you have to scroll down and look for the text all the time. I cant belive wp has introduce this diabolic feature by default.

    Will you please let me know in case you find the way to solve this problem. Thanks

    Juan

    I need help as well! the fact is I dont even no what editor to look into. I don’t have a edior labeled “wp-config.php” so do I just go to my “single.php” file instead? and if so what do I do to make it stop because this is getting really frustrating.

    Her is what I am working with in my single.php file.

    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id=”leftandright”>
    <div id=”leftcontent”>

    <div class=”oneblog_top”></div>

    $crossblock_postimage_disable = get_option(‘crossblock_postimage_disable’);

    if ($crossblock_postimage_disable != ‘true’) {
    $rs_image_key = ‘image’;
    $thereisimage = get_post_meta($post->ID, $rs_image_key, true);
    if($thereisimage) {
    ?>
    <div class=”post_image”>
    <img alt=”Post image of <?php the_title(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>” src=”<?php echo $thereisimage; ?>” />

    Dunno if this will fix your problem, but turning on Compatability View in IE 8 solved this problem for me. Found a post about it here — https://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/04/10/wordpress-editor-jumps-up-to-top-or-beginning-of-text-in-ie8/ — and gave it a shot; worked immediately, which was fortunate for the continuing health of my laptop.

    If you’re not using IE8, never mind ??
