Title: auto save question Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # auto save question * [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/) * I can’t find the auto save/page revision option. I checked under screen options for posts and pages and it is not there. * We lost some pages and would like to see if there was an auto save of those pages.

How did you lose the pages? * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3248949) * I didn’t delete any of those pages. worked most of the day on the site and then all of a sudden I noticed that about half a dozen pages are missing. * When I checked under the pages option the pages are gone. I don’t know how they are lost or at least not visible. I had the same problem about a week ago. It seems to be only pages not posts. I figured it was one of the plugins and at that time I restored them manually. * But I didn’t do anything today that I know of that would cause this. Probably still one of the plugins. * That is why I thought I could check the auto save and realized that the function doesn’t appear anywhere. * [phe.le](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phele/) * (@phele) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249005) * Try to deactivate the plugins one by one to see which plugin is causing the problem. * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-342-pages-posts-do-not-display?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-342-pages-posts-do-not-display?replies=6) * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249010) * I’ll try but the problem is infrequent. Happened once last week and again yesterday. I deleted several plugins yesterday that we were not using. Maybe one of them caused the problem. * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249011) * btw I still can’t figure out why I can’t find anything related to auto save on the site (we are using that lastest WP release 3.42). Checked everywhere and it does not display for pages or posts. Checked under the screen options at the top of the screen and it is not there. There must be a line of code missing somewhere. I just don’t know where. wp-config.php, functions.php or elsewhere? * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249015) * Check your wp-config.php file for this line * `define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0);` * and delete it. Or change the value to the number of revisions to save. Look in functions.php, too. * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249017) * my wp-config.php file does not have any lines in it with the word **revision ** or **auto save**. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249018) * Look in functions.php, too. * Switch to twentyeleven and try a draft post or two and see if “Revisions” shows up in the page/post screen view options. * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249019) * the functions.php file in our theme directory doesn’t have any references to revision or auto save either. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249020) * Switch to twentyeleven and try a draft post or two and see if “Revisions” shows up in the page/post screen view options. * Thread Starter [carlytx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlytx/) * (@carlytx) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-save-question/#post-3249021) * Just did and it doesn’t show up in 20/11 either.
