Publishes only on second click
-
Hi, I’m setting up a website with WordPress Multi-User (MU) 2.8.2
I’m inputting a bunch of test content, and I was very confused at first, because normally when I click “Publish” I expect the page to load for a while, and then the button changes to “Update Page” or “Update Post”.
But when I click “Publish” now, the page loads and the “Publish” button remains. It took me a while, but eventually I noticed that the first time I click “Publish” a permalink is generated underneath the post title. Only the second time I click “Publish” is it actually published.
Is this new functionality? Is it a bug?
If it is intentional, I find it confusing, since it is not very obvious why the post/page was not published at first. I assume that we are being given the chance to edit the permalink, but I think for most of my users, this will just be confusing.
Any clarification or help to circumvent this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
