hello-toby

I’ve managed to get around it by disabling Javascript before I try to delete the post/category/page/whatnot. It’s annoying to keep switching Javascript on and off, but it’s all that has worked for me.
(Mine happens in 2.1)

Two of my friends are having the same problems with this.
The only way we’ve been able to remedy it is to change the autosave interval to something like 20+ minutes, so that we have a chance to save it before it autosaves.

Are we the only three people in the world having this issue?
What can we do to still use our autosave functionality but have it actually *work* ?

Nevermind!
Turns out the Category Access plugin from https://www.coppit.org/code/ works perfectly for what I needed.

BLAST!
Foiled again by WordPress. Aka Problem solved.
All I had to do was create a new file (blog.php) in my content folder with the following information in it:

<?php define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require(‘blog/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

And then use index.php?x=blog.
Sigh. Why didn’t anyone tell me it was that easy in all the other 50,000 posts I read?
