Posts get published while typing draft
-
As I type my draft posts, out of nowhere I see a message that says “Congrats…published!” long before I’m finished. So a premature post gets publicized.
I have had this problem consistently for months, so to prevent it I started “privately publishing” all of my posts as I work on the draft. I set the Visbility from public to private, so it won’t get published early to the public. But then today, as I was typing, I hit “update” to save my progress on the private post, and when it refreshed it said “published publicly.” I never changed the Visibility setting, but it published and publicized anyway.Anyone else have this problem? I’m going to have to find a new host if I can’t stop this from happening. There should be a Confirm dialog before posts are published.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
