Save Draft Disabled

[bionary]

Hi,

At some point with one of the wp upgrades my ability to click "Save Draft" has been broken. This happened a while back and I've been saving via an inspect-hack... but it's time to dig in and fix this nuisance once and for all.

Shortly after I start edit a post, the "Save Draft" goes gray. When I right click and inspect the html I can see that the button has been "disabled" Of course I can enabled it via the code inspector and then click in the "save draft" button but that's silly to do over and over (although that's what I've been doing for a few months) because I can't seem to find a solution online.

I thought maybe I had something in the functions causing conflict, but I can't see anything. At one point I thought maybe I had a custom function to disable the autosave but I can't see anything in regards to that.

any suggestions?

Thanks

I figured out the problem and it had to do with my wp-config file.
I had these settings:

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 86400);

I had slowed down the autosave to 1 day, which was my way of very much disabling it. I read somewhere that the autosave setting needed to be above the ABSPATH setting. I reversed the order of those two and everything seems to be working again.
I must admit though, I haven't touched wp-config in over 3 years and everything worked fine up until a couple of months ago.

Well it's all fixed now 🙂
