“Save Draft” and “Preview” buttons not working.

  • Hello.

    My blog is https://stogielife.com.
    My blog is using the iNove theme.
    I am using Google Chrome browser to access the dashboard and editor.

    I’ve had an issue over the last couple of weeks where the SAVE DRAFT or PREVIEW buttons are giving me issues.

    – When I start a new post I can click to save the draft and to preview the post.
    – If I edit the post more after I save the draft then it will not allow me to click SAVE DRAFT again.
    — I have to refresh the page and then I am able to save it.
    — This requires me to copy and paste my edits to avoid losing changes.

    Does anyone know what might cause this?

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – disabling Google Gears if you have that running/installed within Firefox?

    Thanks Esmi, I haven’t tried any of that yet. I appreciate the info.

    Resetting the plugins folder worked for me in allowing me to Preview both new Draft Posts as well as Themes — seems like this issue is on several other posts here as well

    I have a very similar problem, but with Pages in addition to Posts. The Save Draft button used to show up before I upgraded to WordPress 2.9.2, now it only shows up for new Pages. Also when I click Preview Changes, it says “You do not have permission to preview drafts” for the pre-existing Pages, and a blank page for new Pages.

    So basically now I can’t Save Drafts of existing Pages or Preview Changes to them. All my changes need to be published before I can see them. How did I lose this functionality?

    I thought this might be related to plugins so I deactivated all of them, both in the Dashboard and via the instructions above. Nothing improved.

    These problems are consistent across Mac and PC, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Additionally, when I use Firefox on a PC, I can’t even log in to my dashboard! (although it works on other browsers or platforms.)

    Help.

    Oh yes, and I tried resetting the plugins folder, and I do not have Google Gears installed.

    @aaronj – I am having this same problem! Did you figure out how to get the Save Draft button back?
