Wp-autosave Plugin

"Wp-autosave" plugin is for automatically saving posts being written in the Classic Editor

“Wp-autosave” plugin is for automatically saving posts being written in the Classic Editor

Note:
This plugin works as an additional module to the Classic Editor plugin by WordPress Contributors since WordPress version 5.0+, because the original Classic Editor was replaced with a new editor – Gutenberg.
So the original Classic Editor plugin is required to work with WP-Autosave plugin for all actual WordPress versions.

In case of older versions of WordPress (<5.0), the original Classic Editor plugin is not required because Classic Editor is used by default.

Major features of plugin:
– Auto-save post to drafts at regular time intervals by multipart requests. (To check the functionality it’s enough to have the rights to create an entry in the wp-blog (you can test through a user-account) – you will see all requests through the developer tools or some other tools)
– Intellectual immediately auto-save post to drafts when you change the text in the editor
– You can attach a time-stamp to request through the settings of the plugin (appendix time of saving in the query)
– You can set your auto-save interval
– You can choose the type of saving – by time intervals or when content is changed
