Weird WordPress

Posted on August 15, 2014 by https://vivinfrance.wordpress.com

The new arrangement for posting is weird:  I had prepared my post this morning and pressed Publish when the internet went down.  The poem had disappeared when I could go online again, with no “draft” that I could find on the new system, so I laboriously  put the post together again,
Now both are published, and the comments are split.  Does anyone know of a way to amalgamate them?

    No idea, Viv, sorry. I use Live Writer so missed the introduction to the new platform. When I first saw it the other day, the beeping thing put me off instantly. Things will settle down… I’m sure!

    All you can do is an edit, saying in effect, ‘Yes, I know that this is a duplicate but they both have comments so I’m not going to zap either of them’.

    I have’t a clue. I just wait for the bugs to settle down.

    I don’t think there’s a way of re-threading comments from one post to another. I suspect deleting one post would also delete all comments threaded to it. I’m also struggling with this new format. I’ve yet to hear anything positive about it so far.

      Thanks Misky. I guess we just grin and bear it until the new format settles down. There are always hiccups at the start of WordPress “improvements”!

        I just uploaded a post, and now WordPress is giving me the option to revert to the Old Create Post format. It’s a pop-up when you first start creating a new post, and you’re given an option. Try yours and see if it’s there, Viv.

    I don’t know the answer to your question, but I have been struggling with the new method of creating posts, too. I hope WordPress gets the bugs out of this, quickly. Thanks for this post.
