I am trying to stop autosaving at any cost since there is no option built-in. Something like this should be standard since not everyone would need it. Even with the disable code in the config file it still makes a new data entry every time I open the page to edit or after I update to save and continue to work. It makes a new entry every time and doesn’t reuse since that is the part that is disabled.

The previous site that I am replacing since it was lagging and generally seemed bloated had a database of 240MB after just over a year of use. The current update with me being aware of database management is 64MB with just 8 blog posts content left to build. So pretty sure the current WordPress has no concern for database management.

I may have found my method to avoid the autosave by creating the page offline and then copy-pasting the database content into the live versions database. So no matter what this is going to be hack.

I see this was a recent post so glad to see something might happen. I have spent the last 6 months trying to rebuild my website as carefully as possible to keep a clean database. I do not like the idea of every little action creating a new database data entry bumping the post id number. In some places that number is relevant and I don’t want to see crazy high numbers that increase over the life of the website. I recently moved my website to a live server and have the default autosave and revisions code in my config set to disable them. I just noticed editing elementor templates that it is still creating autosave data entries in the database. As for the original poster, some of us build the design offline and then put the content on the live version and don’t need the autosave or revisions. Make sure people know when there is a disable option please, took me a while to find out there was a disable option for that admin top bar.

I know what Wiktor was asking about and I’m also on the hunt for something similar. What I think we need is image upload sizes based on where they are gonna be used or per image case. I am uploading store images that need to be certain sizes but when I upload blog images they don’t need to be store image sizes. I’ll keep looking but might be a future idea.

You can disable the menu from the screen options tab. I came here to see how to do it on mobile device that doesn’t have that tab or this dashboard menu is covering it up.
