I have a feature idea to help people with website projects using version control or in general prefers to manage there theme styling using files.

If a child theme is active, an option to activate a auto-save mode would be great. That way users can use the site editor and the file editor at the same time.

Not sure if it should be a checkbox or a toggle between “DB-mode”/”file-mode” as a save target.

This would also be helpful to work with multisites. For example for multilingual websites that share a design the admin can work on the styling and templates and automatically the changes apply to all languages.

Also this would close the gap between people used to the classic way of managing themes via files and using block themes. Specially the html-templates with all the comments are very hard to do via code.

Is there a way to disable auto-saving, or would it be possible add this as an option?

Is it possible that these auto-saves are piling up and causing the site to overload and lag? If not, do you have any other suggestions about what might be causing this?

Thanks again for your time,

Chris

When we have many users editing web stories the auto save make too many request to server, the server is getting higher process…. thanks….

I add these lines in functions.php, with no result
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘disable_autosave’ );
function disable_autosave() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘autosave’ );
}

I just updated to Version 4.1.4.1 and found immediately on the 3x posts I have done since then, that the standard WP background auto-save is cancelling (removing) all AIOSEO data I put into the AIOSEO Settings > Social tab, in particular the Facebook “Image Source” data selection – i.e. The Custom Image and the associated image URL, as well as the Twitter tab, “Use Data from Facebook Tab” selection.

Even if I put in content, title and Facebook data and then save the draft with that Facebook data, the next WP auto-save removes the Facebook data. A refresh does not restore it.

I have overcome this by adding the Facebook data immediately before publishing the post. A minute or two too early, and it is gone again.

FYI, I also updated 2x other plugins at the same time as I updated yours, but have not had time to check to see of these other 2x updates impact this issue or not.

Regards and thanks.

Whe I revisit thet FormCraft settings, I no longer see the checkmark and can enable this again.
