Getting burnt by publish-without-saving in WordPress
I apologize to anyone that read my last post and found it abruptly ending. I just got burnt trying to write some long additions to my last blog post then promptly hit publish assuming I was done.
What I did NOT realize, is that Publish in Wordpress does NOT mean:
- Save current contents in the text edit window
- Publish updated content to blog
What it DID do was
- Publish to blog last saved contents for post
That would not have been so bad if I didn’t lose 3 paragraphs that I entered into the text edit window WITHOUT saving. I guess from now on I will be hitting ‘Save’ every other minute to ensure I have a not so old snapshot of my current blog post.
