Everytime I publish a post and I navigate away, it says you have unsaved changes

    When I make a post sometimes and I click the publish button and then try to click the white back arrow to go back to the blog overview page, the one where stats are. It says you have unsaved changes. I can’t find where to save those changes.

    Then sometimes when I re-edit a post it says a more recent revision of this post exist. Why does it say that?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    That’s a known bug. That warning is displaying in some cases where there aren’t actually any unsaved changes.

    Our developers are aware of the problem. For now, check the published post in a new browser window. If the published version looks the same as what you have in your editor, then you can just ignore that warning.

    Could you perhaps confirm one thing for me: Are you using any shortcodes in the post where this is happening, like an image gallery, or a Youtube embed?

    @kokkieh That explains it. I’m not sure what you mean exactly. I do have some embedded YouTube, Instagram post. Are embedded post short codes?

  • kokkieh · Staff ·

    Content you embed from Youtube is converted to a shortcode on our end, yes. If you edit the post and switch to the HTML editor, you’ll see the shortcode instead of the link you pasted in.

    So thanks for confirming that. For the most part it should be safe to ignore that message, but we are working on fixing the cause as well.
