Preserve Editor Scroll Position

Download

Description

Every time you edit and save a post the page will be reloaded. That means all scroll positions will be resetted.
Not really UX friendly.

This plugin recovers the old scroll position in your Editor after saving. Either HTML or visual editor.

Sounds pretty good? Install now!

Reviews

Wish it worked (but it doesn’t)

November 5, 2017
This plugin sounds great, as a fix to the HUGE BUG that the wordpress editor has. The bug/decision in wordpress is extremely annoying and unbelievable. The problem is that this plugin does not work. It does nothing. Every time I click ‘update’ in the wordpress editor (editing a page, not a post) then it reloads the entire thing and the cursor is back to the top of the page. This forces the user to find the original cursor position constantly. This slows down the editing. Inexplicably this is still the default behavior in wordpress.
