I have been having a problem with the auto-update function malfunctioning (goes to a blank page and does NOT save anything). I believe it is due to my webhost's restrictions on php which cannot be overridden.
I searched these forums and came across the Modify AutoSave Interval section of the codex. I thought this might solve my problem - I could adjust the time between auto-saves to several minutes.
define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 160 ); // seconds
But this coding does NOT appear on WP2.7's wp-config.php. Which file contains this coding?
Thank you.
no - you will need to add that code to wp-config.php then modify it the way you want
Or you can use the WP-CMS Post Control plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/) and turn it off completely. Just a thought - I hate the auto save feature and this worked great for me.
Hi,
1)Open your wp-admin/post.php file and wp-admin/post-new.php files.
2)You will find this line of code there:
wp_enqueue_script('autosave');
3)Add // to the beginning of this code.
The auto save option will be disabled for your existing and new posts.
Thanks,
Shane G.

Thank you, all. This is great. Disabling the auto-save is essentially what I wanted to do in the first place. Your fix has done the trick, Shane.

I just discovered that it's also necessary to place // before wp_enqueue_script('autosave'); in wp-admin/page.php and wp-admin/page-new.php
That "trick" is not a good solution, because when a new version comes out, you will have to do it again. The pluing I suggested is what we use at work and what I use on all my personal blogs and requires no modification to the core code. Just my 2 cents...

I agree that the plugin might well be the best solution. I will definitely take that under advisement. Thank you, GSB.

Thanks I prefer the hack and would rather not install another plugin

You can just put this in yoru wp-config
to disable autosave and revisions on posts.
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);
but WP_PAGE_REVISIONS is not working and you have to follow the method in this thread

Thank you, mohanarun. But I have installed the plugin; I ran into major problems when I tried to disable autosave manually on a wordpress hosted on a server that has several aspects of php disabled.
