This fall, I gave up testing Gutenberg because I repeatedly saw “There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below” error.

Now that it has officially been released, I started with a test site this evening. While trying to create my home page, started getting the error “There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below.”

Site basically has no plugins installed and standard content that one has when installing Twenty Nineteen theme.

Awhile back, saw someone saying needed to add code to functions.php. Not able to find post now and the advice may have become outdated.

Started seeing the error “This block contains unexpected or invalid content. Resolve.” last night. Screenshots and more detail in this GitHub post: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/10848#issuecomment-432082547

@alex – Thanks for the tip. I hadn’t seen that plugin.

@alex – Thank you. Your suggestions helped. Previously, I thought 123 indicated the form ID.

Now that I have made the fix, the form came back pre-populated with most, but not all fields. Image fields, for example, were empty. Since they are required for form submission, they needed to be re-uploaded. It also seems that some of the drop-downs are not filling in properly either, but I need to do more testing.

I also ran into problems with fields where duplicate entries are not allowed. When I submitted the edited form, those fields failed be/c there was already data in the database.

On my site, I allow logged in users to submit a form that generates a custom post-type entry. This is achieved via Gravity Forms plus the associated GF Custom Post Types plugin.

I’ve tried Alex’s suggestion above and some-page-with-a-form?gform_post_id=123 (suggested on https://www.p51labs.com/gravity-forms-update-post-plugin-v0-5-1-released/) so that the user who submitted a form can edit the data after publication.

site.com/submit/?gform_post_id=123 does not work at all for me.

some-page-with-a-form?gform_post_id=123 kinda works –> While the proper form is displayed, it pulls in data from a regular blog entry submitted by the same user, instead of the proper custom post type.

It would be helpful to have a step-by-step example on how to use this plugin. I would also like to know how to handle a case where a user submitted multiple entries. How does the form know which entry is to be edited?

Thank you!
