Description

While editing or creating a new post, it's not possible to continue your workflow in the same post when your WordPress session expires and you're asked to log in again. Attempting to save or publish from the existing screen after re-logging in from the pop-up dialogue will produce a "link expired" error. You then have to navigate back to the Dashboard and re-open the post you were working on.

Hi @ChrisDca, welcome and thanks for the report!

Multiple people tried to test this one today in Core bug scrub, we were unable to reproduce this. I'm not sure if you're still around, but do let us know if you're still experiencing this.

Thanks!

Hi @ehtis, yes, I am still experiencing the reported issue in WordPress 5.3.2, as are colleagues I have shared this bug with. When working within a post, should the session expire, you are unable to save this existing post and/or publish it where you left off, from the same screen. To get around this, once you log back in, you have to navigate to Posts > All Posts and continue on from there. If you try to save the post or publish it after entering your credentials on the pop-up login dialogue, you will see a "link expired" error.
