I started working on this post about our most recent visit to Green Point Urban Park a while back, and only got a chance to finish it and click ‘Publish’ today.
Unfortunately, as has happened on more than just a handful of occasions recently, WordPress glitched… got stuck, ignored my most recent additions, put in the wrong date, didn’t save properly, and I had to scramble frantically to fix things.
If you are a regular subscriber, you’ll have received a link that now no longer works. SORRY!!!!
I’ve republished it here.
You have been posting a lot recently, I will read it later, right now just send you a “have a nice week-end comment” and compliment your photos.
Thanks, Giiid. 😀 I had some catching-up to do, hope you enjoy the new posts. Bye for now!
I am sorry to hear about your glitch, Reggie. That is sometimes so challenging to handle when that happens!
Thanks, Kathy. I’ve had an annoying number of glitches with WordPress in recent weeks – usually with uploading photos and adding captions, and then inserting individual photos into my post. And when I am writing a post, I’ve lost whole batches of writing on several occasions, which has meant re-drafting… sooo frustrating and time-consuming. I always heave a huge sigh of relief when things run smoothly.
Did the auto saving not catch your text? You should tell the WordPress support about it, they are fast and effective.
Hi Giiid, the auto-saving didn’t work properly – it had only saved the second-last/third-last version, so I lost a whole lot of stuff I’d typed since then. The main problem seemed to happen while I was putting captions on the photos – I added captions, clicked save, and then it got stuck, and I had to go out and back into the gallery again. When I did, it had lost all the caption I’d entered and tried to save. This happened several times in succession. When I finally got the captions sorted, I realised that the text in the blog-post hadn’t been saved either, and by that time, I had forgotten exactly what I had written (I write quite slowly and edit/move things around a lot). It was a mess.
I agree though; in the past, WordPress support has always been very fast and effective, but I didn’t think they could help me with this. It might well have been network congestion – because of the time-zone differences between Africa and America, the network often seems to slow down when America comes ‘online’. At least, that’s how it feels down here – mind you, we have a very slow internet connection (currently 384 kbps), nowhere near as fast as ‘the civilised world’. 😉
On behalf of America, I apologize. 😉
I second the suggestion to contact WordPress support — it might not help, but it definitely won’t hurt.
You are too kind … thanks, Laura. 😉
