 * Hello, when I create a new file or a new page in WP Customer Area tab, I also
   noticed the creation of many auto-draft (empty) posts. Is this a bug? How can
   I fix this problem? Thanks a lot!

 * Hi,
 * We have not noticed this issue on any of our websites. Could this be a conflict
   with your theme or another plugin running on your site?

 * I think it is a problem related to the generation of the permalink of the post.
   
   Before publish the post permalink is create dinamically: _[url.domain]?post\_type
   =cuar\_private\_page&p=1216&preview=true_ After posting the post, permalink changes
   in real post url: _[url.domain]/pagine/le-mie-pagine/2019/02/23/demo_ This produces
   the creation of an automatic draft for each post created (private page or file
   in wp customer area). And it is quite annoying.

 * Hi,
 * I don’t think that this is an issue.
 * WordPress is forcing us to create a draft in order to attach files to the post.
   We cant attach post_metas to a new post that doesn’t exist. I think that why 
   a draft post must be created.

 * Ok, that’s all right.
    But when I create (and publish) the post, auto-draft should
   be deleted automatically. Otherwise, if I create one post I will view two posts,
   if I create ten posts I will view twenty posts, if I create one hundred posts
   I will view two hundred posts, and this is absurd. At least I think so. Why this
   does not happen with normal WordPress posts? I repeat, according to my experience,
   it would be enough to remove the automatic creation of permalink dinamically 
   before publish the post.

 * I agree with you [@sanbrosstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanbrosstudio/).
 * What I do not understand is why WordPress is not deleting those auto-drafts automatically.
 * If you have an idea, feel free to submit a pull request to our github repository.
