 * Hi Jeff, hope you’re good. So I have your plugin on my website and it’s great.
   Except for the ability to save drafts. I am using the rich text editor because
   I want users to be able to ‘add media’ in between the texts. However, there is
   no feature as to allow them to save their drafts or auto-save their text which
   is a real problem because if for some reason the user’s article doesn’t get submitted
   in the first go (exceeded maximum image size, not selected a mandatory option,
   etc), the all of the text gets cleared and they have to start again.
 * Is there a workaround this? Is there a feature to save drafts or auto-draft that
   I am missing?
 * Looking forward to your response. Thanks for the help!

 * Glad to help. What you describe is how the plugin works normally: if the form
   is submitted with an error, the form fields are returned along with any entered
   infos. If that is not happening in your case, then something (like a plugin, 
   theme, browser setting, et al) is interfering. To find out what is causing the
   issue, you can do some basic troubleshooting. I would be glad to send a guide
   if it will be useful for you.

 * Thanks for the reply. I meant the plugin is working fine. But say, for whatever
   reason, the page is refreshed and the user’s post didn’t get submitted then they
   have to type it all over again.
 * So, is there a feature like an auto-draft or something that will allow users 
   to save drafts?
 * Hope this clears it up. Looking forward to your response. Thanks!

 * Oh thanks for clarifying. Something like that is not a feature of the plugin,
   primarily because the form data is saved in the form when there is an error, 
   or if the user leaves and returns later, etc. I do appreciate the feedback though!
