ADVERTISEMENTS
When we write or edit any post in Wordpress, it auto saves the post after a particular interval of time, Wordpress uses AJAX to save the post revisions and the default time to auto save is 60 seconds. If you think Wordpress takes too long or too short time to auto save the post then you can change the time using wp-config file. How ? I’ll tell you.
Note : For making the changes we have to edit the wp-config file. Please take backup of this file before making any changes to it.
Now, open wp-config.php file with any php editor or Notepad and add the following before the ending tag ?>
define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 200 );
Basically, wp-config is responsible for all the configuration changes in Wordpress. In the above code you can see 200, this means that the post will auto save in 200 seconds. You can decrease and increase the time according to your need.
