One of our posters wrote a long post (so there was obviously saved)...when she hit Reply she got an error message that said there was a problem with the post and then it disappeared. Is there any way to retrieve any draft that was autosaved?

Thanks.

Hi @aggie,

I think we are able to retrieve drafts, if we are using the wpForo Version 1.6.3 (or higher). You can check what your wpForo version is on your WP Dashboard.

Here's a quote from Robert's article when the feature was released.

New Features

Post Preview and Draft Saving features

Now you can preview post when you're writing in editor. Also you can save drafts as revisions and restore those. It also does auto-drafting with 30 seconds interval, you can change auto-drafting interval and maximum number in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts Tab.

Good luck and God bless you! 🙂

I'm just a member here who used to be a newbie.

The case: When I actually put my keyboard where my forum is, and became #172. Can you imagine if you had to build this forum yourself? How kind and patient will you be? The best way to say thank you is say it, write it, and then head on over at Wordpress plugin page and rate wpForo 5 stars - by clicking here.
