I got rid of the useless “preview” tab
I kept the plugin for “preview” activated because I kept hoping it would kick in and function properly some day as the version of WordPress got updated. But time after time, updates had no effect. So I’ve de-activated preview – pulled the plug on the plugin – and you should no longer see the “preview” tab at all.
It’s independent of the “edit” function, which should still be working fine.
Since you increased the edit time from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, there is plenty of time to reread and edit typos and other issues. I was able to delete a comment when I discovered that someone else had made the same point, but posted during the time I was writing.
I had to disable JavaScript on my computer while surfing because reasons, so I don’t see the edit button at all.
Apologies to all for any typos, infelicitous grammar, or inadvertent plagiarism.
Any mistakes in data or analysis are my own.
NoScript on Firefox or ScriptSafe on Chrome allow you to be selective about which scripts you allow and where.
Agreed that ten minutes of Edit is a good substitute for preview. Which reminds me of one of my frustrations with Disqus: if I edited a comment x times, it sidelined my comment. Told me that the comment was under review. But no Disqus comment of mine that was under review ever got posted.
I no longer use Disqus, so perhaps this is an irrelevant comment.
Never really used Preview. Made sense with HTML. But now mostly use that with Anchor (A) tags for URLs. At one point, I had add-ins that made HTML easy. Now, I have to cut and paste from my templates. Making things worse, on IOS devices, the “I” in the opening Italics tag gets capitalized, but not in the closing tag. And, at least Blogger, is too stupid to figure out that they are a matched set. Or, even to count them, so that Italics can remain open after a comment. In any case, it is rare that I don’t use quotes instead of Italics anymore.
