Thanks for the replies.

I have not tried this on a local machine because it’s almost impossible to reproduce. There has to be active traffic creating multiple sessions in order for the issue to show up.

I will see about dropping Cloudflare. My site gets a ton of traffic, so I’m a bit worried about losing Cloudflares features.

I have also submitted a new post on this. Sorry.

This is not resolved for me. I am still having this issue.

Same problem here. 100% breaks preview functions.

We also lost “authentication” for every single site on our multisite network. It’s begging me to re-authenticate each one. Please fix!

Elsie,

Doing a google search for “database cron job to restore database” will give you some direction. That is how I would do it. The first result on Google describes almost exactly what you’re doing.

You should be able to have as many people log in with the same credentials as you want. There is no restriction on login sessions that I am aware of.

For your demo site however, you could setup a script that automatically reverts wordpress back to “default” upon log out or for a set duration. So, for example, every 30 minutes, the site could clear out data and restore to a specific version of the data. That way your demo users can use wordpress and mess around with posts for a short amount of time.

Hope that helps!

Please help! This is like a virus infecting my website!

I’d love to be able to control what appears as well. It would be nice to have it so when ever you share the home page, it shows the logo of the site, the description of the site, and the URL to the home page. Then, for all other pages, categories, posts, etc. it would show the latest content from that page, post, category, etc. Currently, when you attach a link to your home page in facebook, it pulls the latest post, the latest thumbnail for that post, and the link to that post. Very annoying!

I DO want posts listed chronologically. The problem is, I have 20-30 writers and 5 editors to proof their content. Not everything gets published live the same day the draft is created. So, for example, if a writer posts a “pending review” article on May 1st, the editor may finally get around to editing the content by may 10th. The editor hits “publish” and the post goes live, but with a date of May 1st. Therefore, what should be a new post published on May 10th ends up being a old post from May 1st and buried in all the other content that was posted between the 1st and 10th, often not even seen on the home page or category page.

You can hide the post date easily on the front end in your theme, however, your content will still publish on the date the draft was created, hence the issue discussed in this thread. So, all your content would still be posted chronologically with or without displaying the date. Probably not the ideal situation.

This seems to be a pretty widespread problem. I’ve found bug tickets that go back 6 years ago with similar issues reported. Pretty frustrating that WordPress has not paid attention to this issue.

Yes, that would be great! Please WordPress, this is a serious issue!

This is happening to me too. Is it possibly due to a plugin?

Any response on this?

I’m trying to do just the opposite. I want to update all image links to the image URL from the attachment page. Anyone know how to do this?

Michiel, did you ever find a answer to this? I’m looking to do the same thing.

Update: If I update the post and re-add the images, it seems to restore the post. Obviously not a good solution since I have over 1000 posts, but I thought that was interesting. Anyone have any comments on this?
