 * While posting i get a pop up every minute or two that says
 * > Confirm?
   > Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
   >  The changes you made
   > will be lost if you navigate away from this page. Press OK to continue, or 
   > Cancel to stay on the current page.
 * If i click cancel it pops straight back up, if i click cancel a second time it
   will go away for a few minutes. If i click ok i get a blank page. Its more annoying
   than anything and would like to know how to stop it.
 * My other issue is when i click save draft or publish, both seem to pull this 
   error
 * > Your attempt to edit this post: “Example” has failed.
   > Please try again.
 * But after this error i can go back in and edit the autosaved post and it will
   then save and publish fine. Very annoying…
 * Any help would be welcome. Im new to wordpress btw.

 * Ok so i’ve found a solution. I think the issues lie with the autosave. Both were
   fixed by removing the autosave function in wp-admin/post-new.php by commenting
   it out:
 * //wp_enqueue_script(‘autosave’);
 * Seems to work fine now. If anyone knows why, an explanation would be welcome.
