Master Checklist keeps losing data

[Don Henderson]

When I go to my Master Checklist it doesn’t retain the information that I put into it. Possibly user error, but has anyone else noticed this?

Don, I can help troubleshoot this. What’s a change you’re making that’s not sticking (ie. what is the data that’s displaying but failing to save)?

Hi Sean, It’s everything. Every time I go back to the list its empty. It’s happened a couple times so I’ve been careful to save.

Give me 5 minutes. I’m filling it out again.

While we’re at it, I’m also having trouble figuring out how to upload a profile picture, and I’ve looked in all the usual places on the profile. Thanks in advance if you can help with that.

I’ve recreated the checklist and now it’s sticking. If you can see if there are any glitches though, that would be helpful. Thank you.

Don, I see you just saved the checklist. Do you have cookies enabled in your browser?

It uses this WordPress plugin that enables data persistence across sessions. If it’s not working for you my first hunch is that it’s an issue with cookies not being enabled.

For your avatar image, there is no upload. It uses the image from this service: https://en.gravatar.com/
So you can just create an account there and upload your photo to that site and it will populate your profile image here and on various other services with that image.

Let me know if that last save you just made is persisting across visits. Try logging out/in and let me know if the data saved correctly.

I closed the browser, modified my cookie settings, and came back. Voila! My checklist is intact. Thanks!
