Post Preview keeps refreshing

  • When I’m previewing a post to see how it will look, it refreshes every few minutes.

    This seems to be related to using the new Gutenberg editor as it doesn’t happen on sites using the classic editor.

    Is there a way to stop this as once the page refreshes, it doesn’t take me back to where I was, but back to the top of the page.

    Thanks

    If you’re editing the post while you read it, this is intentional, the preview will re-load to reflect what was changed in the post.

    Thanks. I wasn’t making changes as I was reading the post preview.

    Maybe something in my dashboard is changing the post and triggering the refresh?

    Possibly, this may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    Thanks, it’s not my site and I think disabling all of the plugins and switching the theme would do more harm than good.

    Thanks for looking into it though.
