This can help prevent your account from using up excessive server resources while you\u2019re working on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, WordPress will autosave any pages or posts that you\u2019re working on once every 60 seconds (every minute), so if you happen to start working on a new post and then you walked away from your computer those autosaves would continue to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#how\">How Does WordPress Autosave Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=533&amp;action=edit#results\">WordPress Autosave Results<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#cons\">Cons of WordPress Autosave<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#disable-wp-autosave\">Disable WordPress Autosave With AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#plugin\">Disable WordPress Autosave With a Plugin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#other\">Other Options for Disabling Autosave<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-danger\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Starting with\u00a0WordPress 3.6\u00a0the below options still disable the WordPress autosave functionality. However with the new WordPress HeartBeat API, simply using the steps below won\u2019t completely limit the amount of\u00a0<strong>admin-ajax.php<\/strong>\u00a0requests the dashboard sends to the server. <br><br>Please review our guide on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/heartbeat-ajax-php-usage\/\">WordPress Heartbeat and heavy admin-ajax.php usage<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How Does WordPress Autosave Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autosave is a great feature if you forget to save what you are working on and your browser\/WordPress\/plugin crashes, since the next time you access your Dashboard you will be able to continue with the autosaved version. The classic editor used to save your changes as \u201crevisions\u201d that can be reverted if necessary. But the Gutenberg editor \u201cautosaves\u201d the page or post you have open and each autosave will overwrite the previous one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Keep in mind that revisions are still available, but only if you <strong>update<\/strong> or <strong>save<\/strong> the page\/post you are working on. For more information, see our full guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/limit-or-disable-wordpress-revisions\/\">how to limit or disable WordPress revisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress will also encourage you to save your changes. For example, when you attempt to close your browser without saving a page or post first, a message will pop up confirming if you want to leave the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/save-changes-1-1024x288.png\" alt=\"Save Page or Post Changes Before Leaving WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-92604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/save-changes-1-1024x288.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/save-changes-1-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/save-changes-1-768x216.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/save-changes-1.png 1214w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your content is also saved as a draft in your browser, so if you lose the connection to the internet or your website it will be saved locally as a draft.

This is due to it persistently reconnecting to your server and saving the page or post you are working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is causing issues with your server, the solution is disabling or extending the interval your WordPress site autosaves at. Below we will go over the various methods that can be used to disable or limit the autosave ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disable-wp-autosave\">Disable WordPress Autosave With AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the steps below I\u2019ll show you how you can modify your WordPress\u00a0<strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file to functionally disable the WordPress autosave feature by setting the\u00a0<strong>AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL<\/strong>\u00a0value to an entire day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, your page or post will get automatically saved once, then after that you would need to manually click\u00a0<strong>Save Draft<\/strong> instead of relying on WordPress to do it once a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-log-into-cpanel\/\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\">Login to your cPanel<\/a>.<\/li><li>Access the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/file-manager-code-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\">cPanel File Manager Editor<\/a>\u00a0and navigate to your <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file.<\/li><li>Enter in the the following code to the <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file after the line that says \u201cAdd any custom values between this line and the \u201cstop editing\u201d line.\u201d In my WordPress site, this was around line 86:<pre>define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 86400);<\/pre><\/li><li>After that click on <strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">Save Changes<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"> at the top-right. This sets how often the WordPress autosave should run, and in this case we\u2019ve set it to <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">86400<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"> seconds which is an entire day. So this effectively disables the autosave functionaility.<\/span><p class=\"alert alert-danger\">With the WordPress autosave disabled you\u2019ll want to be sure that you are periodically clicking on <strong>Save Draft<\/strong> while working on a page or post to ensure that you don\u2019t lose any content, as now WordPress will not be autosaving it for you.<\/p><a name=\"default-autosave\"><\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plugin\">Disable WordPress Autosave With a Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a plugin to disable autosave when using the Gutenberg editor, but keep in mind that this will not work if you are using the <em>Classic<\/em> editor. This is due to the way that autosave works as described above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the plugin is installed, autosave will be disabled automatically. But you will have the ability to adjust the setting for each post or page you are editing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/install-wordpress-plugins\/\">Install the Disable Gutenberg Autosave plugin<\/a> by <em>websevendev<\/em>.<br><strong>Note:<\/strong> autosave is immediately disable upon activation of the plugin.<\/li><li>Now when you edit a page or post you will see a clock with an arrow on the top-right of the page.
