Your attempt to edit this post: “abc” has failed !!!

This is what I meant:
//wp_enqueue_script('autosave');

Autosave is a real pain. When the script is in action both the “save draft” and “publish” buttons get grayed and it is out your control.

And I doubt the word count feature is useful to anyone.

Hence both the calls to scripts (wp_enqueue_script('word-count'); and wp_enqueue_script('autosave');) can be “commented out” from post.php as well as post-new.php in wp-admin folder. But it has to be done on each upgrade.

Alternately, lifestyler’s plugin can be used with one rider:- the script “post” should not be disabled since it will deactivate the post status and visibility options.

S.K

Ok, but consider no auto-save, i’d predict several angry users posting when they lose work because the auto-save didn’t save work prior to when their browser crashed for whatever reason.

How long does the auto-save take? 1 second, 5, 10?… is it really that big a deal to wait until it’s finished?

Word count i’d agree isn’t essential. If you use Firefox there are small extensions that can do this for you if you need it.

You could always set the autosave interval high so that it never bothers you (can’t remember the JS file that handles this offhand, but the interval is right near the top of the file, it’s hard to miss). You could set it to some stupid high amount, and it’ll be as if it’s never there.

//wp_enqueue_script(‘autosave’);

works on my site,but is there a better way ?

my word count function didn’t work to , i don’t know why !!!

e…..

I just lost a couple of hundred words when WordPress logged me out when attempting to autosave.

I have no earthly idea how to “duplicate” this problem, but this seems to the right thread for mentioning it.
