So you can say that it’s the Gutenberg/block editor. why it’s not returning the meta and featured image Because Gutenberg … Read more
I’m also wanting the post to be assigned the post type “Video”. You can’t just change a post to a different Post Type. There is a difference between “Post Type” and “Post Format”. From your examples I assume you would like to change the “Post Format”, as per the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/set_post_format, you would need to … Read more
You mentioned: Is there a way, to do that from within a plugin or a themes functions.php? You may want to try the following code. Just place it inside your theme’s functions.php file. Using it, you do NOT have to alter the wp-config.php file. define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false); function disable_autosave() { wp_deregister_script(‘autosave’); } add_action(‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘disable_autosave’);
You should not put any defines in the end of the wp_config.php it is actually explicitly stated in it 😉 Every define you add should be above the line saying /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ Anything after that will have impact only after wordpress had finished to process the request

I have managed to find the reason behind this and create a solution suitable for my needs. Under screen options on the post edit page is an option called “Custom Fields”. This lists all of the custom meta values that have been saved against the post and allows you to create new ones and edit … Read more
Bear in mind the web is a pull environment – not a push one. So whoever is making the data change can not push a notification to anyone else who might be surfing your website at the moment. Instead, it’s every client’s (browser) responsibility to call back to the server ever so often and see … Read more

If the goal is to display the block ID so that the user can get it easily, instead try using a block editor filter to add a panel in the sidebar: From: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/filters/block-filters/#editor-blockedit const { createHigherOrderComponent } = wp.compose; const { Fragment } = wp.element; const { InspectorControls } = wp.blockEditor; const { PanelBody } … Read more
