   Hi

   how can I disable the autosave feature, it is annoying and is not compatible with woocommerce as when it autosaves you are not able to alter product SKU, also during image upload the autosave feature kicks in and stops upload of image

   thanks

   Add to wp-config.php

   define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 160 ); // seconds

   Edit this to the seconds desired

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Modify_AutoSave_Interval

   Or add to functions.php preferably in a Child Theme so the edit is not lost on theme update:

   function disableAutoSave(){
       wp_deregister_script('autosave');
   }
   add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'disableAutoSave' );

   thanks

   used

   define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 160 ); // seconds

   but I think it should be

   define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', '160' ); // seconds

   I provided the codex article on this - your theme can override - try with a function.

   i mean the ' ' was missing in the codex, it seem to need to quote marks either side of the number of seconds

   thanks
