Connection lost. Saving has been disabled…

  • I have been getting this error for weeks. Changed hosts, done clean installs, disabled plugins – everything I can think of. I am getting desperate and no one seems to be able to help anywhere. I am hoping someone here will have some answers.

    Everything on the front end of the site works fine. The wp-admin dashboard however locks up EVERY time and will be down for between 5 minutes and two hours with an error –

    The error -“Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.”

  • That sounds like a server issue. Have you asked your hosts about this?

    Oh yes, I have been back and forth with them for WEEKS. Literally. They can not figure out the problem. I even switched from GoDaddy because of their lack of support (and knowledge it seemed) to another host/server – and I get the exact same issue.

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Same issue here. I’ve tried all of the suggestions. On another WP install I have before the recent update it works without a problem.

    This has happened before with WP updates as I have gone through a number of posts in the forums about this. Even other forums on different websites.

    No matter what the server or browser, it’s the same issue. I’ve tried 5 different servers (even a dedicated one and a cloud). My internet connection is NOT the problem.

    WordPress is having issues communicating with the servers for some reason.

    It’d be nice to see this fixed though. Also, this has happened on very clean installs. By very clean I mean, the base theme, absolutely no plugins and all settings untouched.

    I am also having the same problem, and pulling my hair out! would love to know what the issue is. I can say that I didn’t have it it older versions of wp
