This is simply awful especially when it auto saves at 2 minute intervals.

This is definitely something that needs to be fixed. If you cannot delete old revisions you are subject to constant prompting reminders of more recent revisions even if you do not desire to use them. It is too much and as such easily becomes a hassle to locate the revision you desire.

The information on the page you provided a link to is incorrect. I have several auto save revisions for the same page, same post, and I have seen several where the auto save saves a new version independent of the previous just saved two minutes prior.

This makes WordPress less desirable for me and I am sure I am not alone in this. I don't want my blog to be saved every 2 minutes and I don't want a list of the 25 latest revisions every time I view a revision.

There should at least be an option to turn off the auto save or to set it at a specific time interval.

I do concede that an auto save feature has its use but this is simply ridiculous and I find it quite unprofessional. I cannot believe that I am the only person that knows how to save their work at regular intervals.

Is there a way to get an email every time a new text is posted for revision?

Thanks

Thank you WordPress for being awesome!

I just spend 3 hours writing a post on my computer and then went to my iphone and saw that there was an older version on there...so I hit the "Update" button, thinking it would update the version on my iPhone. Instead it over-wrote my newer version with the older version!

Why my iPhone didn't have the newest version, I don't know...but I'm trying to figure out how to use this http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/ and I don't see any revision area when editing the post.

Please tell me there's a way to get it all back!

Sorry my peace doesn't surpass this understanding ;-)

Thank you so much.

Instead of the "Top Posts & Pages" widget I would much prefer it if there were two separate widgets:

1. A "Top Posts" widget that only referenced blog post entries.

2. A "Top Pages" widget that only referenced Pages.

Alternatively, change the current widget slightly: add a radio button to choose from 3 options: "Top Posts and Pages"; Top Posts only"; "Top Pages only".

The combination of Posts and Pages in the current widget is distracting and unnatural. People interested only in Posts or Pages have no way of knowing if the entry is a Page or a Post. It takes them to things they may have no interest in whatsoever.

Nobody needs to know that my "Contact Me" Page is popular! If they want to contact me it's easy to find since it's prominently displayed in my menu and I have a link to it on every single one of my Pages (I'm in business - of course I want potential clients to contact me, so I make it easy for them to do so).

But I have lots of readers who are not potential clients since I only service a very limited geographical area; those readers aren't interested in my business, they are interested in my ideas and free educational material that I disseminate in my blog as a way of giving something back to the community. A reader in Nova Scotia is not going to be interested in hiring me - I only service clients in Perth, Western Australia! If they don't want to contact me why on earth would they want to click on the link in the widget?

And please! Make the Widget reference all-time statistics, not just the last day or so! My all time most popular post, a post that has had over twice as many total views as my next most popular post comes 9th on the list with the current widget! It's gratifying to know that people are still reading a post I wrote 6 months ago, but it completely distorts the impression of the impact this post has had on my readers.

a) Each dashboard screen has different screen options. The Revisions module is part of the post editor screen: the one you see if you go to Posts > Add New, or if you go to Posts > All Posts, hover over over the title of a post and click Edit.
b) "It is still not there but it is under the posts." What does that mean?

Read this post on the forums: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/two-hours-worth-of-edits-lost-reverted-to-original-draft?replies=6#post-897394

found the draft revisions they were on the bottom of the current test post I saved as draft. just checked the posts I published as well and the revisions are all listed on the bottom left of the page. need to scroll down...

Please review this guide on how to manage and restore post revisions.

That's Robert A Heinlein's advice to new writers. It's also a guaranteed fire starter on any literary board.

I've put up my thoughts up and I hope to get some other POVs, especially with so many writers lurking around here! Yeah, I know you're here... I'm lurking in those dark corners too, you know.

To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal.

When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Read this for more info:
http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

We have only 2 Volunteers who help with CSS editing occasionally so please follow the instructions above and be patient waiting for them to log-in, find this thread, and help you.

b Tags are added in similar manner, below the post in the Edit box. They apply to the POST and not to the paragraph.

c No, WordPress.com doesn't do that. That would look awfully 1997. Google will do that if someone comes to your blog searching for a specific term.

d Where? Avatars take several hours to propagate across the web, up to one day. It's recommended to upload yours right at Gravatar.com

e Upload your own custom header under Appearance->Themes-.Custom Header on your dashboard.
