# [Plugin: Edit Flow] Save button

 * When I enable the button under publish says save rather than “save draft”. If
   I click the save button the post simply disappears. I have found out that the
   post does get saved to the db but as an auto-draft, so you can’t get at it in
   the admin to edit it or change status etc.
 * Right below the button show “Status: Draft”, but the button doesn’t reflect that.
   If I edit the status and select draft and hit OK, the button does change to “
   Save Draft”, and then it will save just fine.
 * If someone forgets to do this step they can loose a lot of work. Shouldn’t that
   button default to “Save Draft”?
 * If I disable the custom statuses module in edit flow, the button defaults to “
   Save Draft” and works as expected.

 * Sorry, I should have reread my message before posting. I must have been distracted
   because some parts aren’t very clear. I think you get the gist though. Let me
   know if you have questions or it need clarification.

 * This is odd. Have you changed your custom statuses at all? Can you share some
   screenshots of what you see before and after?

 * Same problem here. The Save button shows up in full screen edit, but NOT in standard
   edit mode. Happened with the update.

 * [@dirty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dirty/) Bill Can you share some 
   screenshots of what you see? Does the problem persist after you deactivate all
   other plugins? Any Javascript errors you notice?

 * The problem doesn’t persist if I deactivate Edit Flow. Here is an image from 
   one of our editors: [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151029373697779&set=o.238106879581642&type=1&theater](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151029373697779&set=o.238106879581642&type=1&theater)
 * I’ve been using Edit Flow for a couple of years, our plugin structure has remained
   static for over a year, it broke with the last edit flow update.
 * Note: No users are able to publish to live, they can only submit for approval
   then our managing editor will do final edits before pushing it live.
 * Before diving into that being the out – this workflow has been working fine for
   a long time and ONLY broke with the Edit Flow update.
