 * I tried disabling all other plugins with the default theme. I’ve tried over-writing
   the core WordPress files since I was already up to date and I tried a fresh download
   of the plugin.
    Whenever I click “save draft” for a **page**, I am redirected
   to the **posts** admin page. Then when I navigate back to pages, there is no 
   draft page saved. Help :-/

 * I’m getting the same…since updating to 4.2.2 I get the same. Posts work fine,
   saving the draft. However although the button “save drafts” is on the “Pages”
   content it doesnt save a new version of it – and redirects to posts.
 * Can the developer please look at making it function on 4.2.2 please..im sure 
   it’ll just be a syntax change…

 * Hi All,
 * I added this line to liveDrafts.php, line 100:
 * `if($_REQUEST['excerpt']==NULL) $draftPost['post_excerpt'] = '';`
 * (Just before “// Insert the post into the database”)
 * This should fix the page issue. Hope this helps!
