Saved the Setup tab and manual publishing turned itself off, even though I never touched that switch
What you are seeing
I saved the Setup tab and manual publishing turned itself off, even though I never touched that switch.
#Why it happens
The settings screen seeds the manual-publishing switch to off before your first save, while the value actually stored for an untouched space is manual + automatic. Saving the form therefore writes what the screen showed, not what was stored.
#What to do
Before your first save on any space, deliberately set "Allow manual publishing" to the value you want. Re-check it after every Reset to default too, which also writes manual publishing off.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Enable publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Target space | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Allow manual publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Publishable content types | Pages, blog posts and folders only. Anyt | - |
