WP Modification History

WP Modification History enables a metabox that shows modficiation history by date/time, user, and the values that were modified. The modified values are shown in a diff format so that you can easily see what lines and characters were modified, deleted, added, etc.

Within the settings page, you are able to toggle off/on meta values in the event you don’t want certain things to be tracked when hitting the update button on that post type.

Possible future features:

• Additional settings and display options (AJAX pagination, limit of results per page/metabox, etc.)
• Comments and remarks on a particular revision
• Email notifications when specific changesets are made
• Stats

1. Drop unzipped folder into wp-content/plugins/wp-mod-history and activate the plugin via the plugins admin page.

2. Alternatively, just install the plugin from the plugins admin page by searching for “WP Modification History”

Where do I see the modification history?

By default, modification history will be tracked on posts of post_type “post” whenever a change has been made. This means you’ll need to change something (the title, the content, or some custom post meta) and click Update. Once a change has been made, you should see a metabox appear towards the bottom of the edit post screen that will outline the changes that were made.

Why was this written?

This was written initially as a work project to show editorial staff who changed what and when they changed it. This was later modularized and developed into a stand alone plugin for your convenience.
