Autosave prompt with page preview

  • Hi,

    Every time I use the preview button, view the page front-end, then return to admin I see this prompt:

    There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below. View the autosave

    This can literally be a matter of seconds in between viewing the preview and returning to admin. Why am I seeing this? I’ve only had this problem since WP 4.1.1

    Also tied into this is that the preview doesn’t always work. Sometimes the changes made aren’t shown, in which case the message above isn’t returned. If the preview is working, then the autosave error is shown. It’s getting frustrating.

    I have the same problems across multiple sites. WP 4.1.1, Win 7 Pro, Chrome browser.

    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Anyone have an ideas on this?

    I have the same problems across multiple sites.

    Are they all on the same host/server? Have you tried another browser?

    Any consistency among plugins/theme? Have you tested on a clean install with no plugins and a default theme?

    All sites are on the same server yeah. I do see the same behaviour in Chrome/Firefox/IE, and with several different themes and plugins.

    I’ll try a default install tomorrow. Like I say, it’s purely when I’ve hit preview and then gone back to the tab with the page/post editor open.

    Ok, I’ve narrowed this down to using Page Builder (Site Origin) plugin and the Preview tool. But I’m reasonably comfortable I can get around this by using the Live Editor option. If it becomes an issue going forwards I can raise it with the plugin developer. Thanks.
