Has anyone solved this?

I want to do the exact same thing…

Sounds like you need to manually edit the entries in the “wp_posts” table in the DB.

First back up the table, then delete the entries that you can’t update after making sure that the auto-save versions are present. Then, for each auto-save, make sure of the following:

Column “id” = the correct numeric id for the entry
Column “post_status” = “publish”
Column “post_name” = “the-correct-slug-for-your-page”
Column “guid” = “https://yoururl.com/?p=the same numeric id as above”
Column “post_type” = “post” or “page”

The WYSIWYG editor can loose functionality if you deregister the WordPress default jQuery via:

wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );

In fact a lot of screwy things can happen to the admin when you do this. However, lot’s of us want to use our own version of jQuery for our themes / plugins. The solution is to deregister the default jQuery only if the admin is not active. To do this, put the following in your theme’s functions.php file:

if(!is_admin()) {
   wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
   wp_register_script('jquery', '/your/server/path/to/jquery.js');
}

Now, you can put

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

in your header.php file and it will call your preferred jQuery version for your theme, but the admin will utilize the default jQuery as it’s designers intended.
