What it does
The default WordPress revision system tracks post titles and content, but it ignores the custom fields many sites depend on. If a landing page, project entry or product record stores most of its data in Meta Box fields, an accidental edit to those fields leaves no history behind. This extension fills that gap by saving custom field data alongside each revision, so you can see every change and roll back to an earlier state when something goes wrong.
Setup happens in your Meta Box configuration. You add 'revision' => true to a field group, and the plugin handles backups, change tracking and restoration from there. It works with every field type, including groups and cloneable fields, which it compares as JSON-encoded data so the differences stay readable. Change details appear below the post title and content in the standard revisions screen. That makes it a good fit for sites edited by several people, where a clear record of who changed what helps prevent lost or unwanted edits.
Best for
- Sites built on Meta Box custom fields
- Multi-author sites with several people editing content
- Developers and agencies building data-heavy client sites
Features
Revisions for custom fields
Extends WordPress revisions to include Meta Box custom fields, so changes to field data are saved and tracked along with the post title and content.
Works with all field types
Tracks every Meta Box field type, including complex structures such as groups and cloneable fields, so nested and repeated data is covered too.
Readable JSON comparisons
Group and cloneable field data is compared in JSON-encoded form, which keeps the differences between revisions clear and easy for a person to read.
Visual change comparison
Shows detailed change logs below the post title and content on the revisions screen, highlighting additions, removals and modifications at a granular level.
Restore earlier field values
Restore previous custom field values in one click, which helps you recover from accidental edits or undo changes you did not want.
Simple configuration setting
Turn tracking on by adding 'revision' => true to your Meta Box configuration, and the plugin then manages backups, tracking and restoration automatically.
Covers posts, pages and post types
Keeps a history of custom field changes across posts, pages and custom post types that use Meta Box fields.
