    Hi Guys,

    When a user leaves and returns to the listing form, they are greeted with the following message:
    “Hey, we found a post you started earlier and are showing it below. If you would prefer to start again then please click here to remove this revision.”

    This is a genius feature, and many of our advertisers are taking advantage of this. They start a listing, and finish it at a later time. It seems to work just fine.

    I am wondering the following:

    1) How is the form being stored before the user submits their post?
    2) How long is this info stored for? I would like to allow users to continue adding their listing even 3 weeks later

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi TLN,

    Thanks for your post. If I’m not mistaken, it would be around 7 days. You can refer to the discussion here https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/we-found-a-post/

    A few little notes.

    New posts are by default stored for 7 days.

    Post edits are stored for longer, these are basically revisions, they can be turned off or cleared via plugin at any time but generally 1 revision is stored indefinitely per post per user and removed once fully saved.

    The post is created on visiting the add/edit page, a check runs every 10 seconds and if the form content has changed from the last check it will send a AJAX request which saves the post in the background, so its only runs when needed.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
