The goal of releasing this code as a plugin is to allow as many people as possible to easily test the post meta revisioning feature, and also hopefully move towards inclusion of the feature into core, following the [Features as Plugins](https://make.wordpress.org/core/features-as-plugins/) model. Further development of the code for this plugin will continue on its [GitHub repository](https://github.com/adamsilverstein/wp-post-meta-revisions). Pull requests welcome! To use this plugin, you must be running WordPress 4.1 or newer, two hooks were added in 4.1 that are required for this implementation. To revision a post meta, you add its key via a filter: ``` function add_meta_keys_to_revision( $keys ) { $keys[] = 'meta-key-to-revision'; return $keys; } add_filter( 'wp_post_revision_meta_keys', 'add_meta_keys_to_revision' ); ``` Features: * Allows for a whitelisted array of ‘revisioned’ meta keys (which can change at any time) * A revision for the meta is stored on save (if the meta value has changed) * A meta revision save (if changed) is also triggered during auto-saves * Restoring a revision restores the revisioned meta field’s values at that revision( including auto-saves) * Supports storing of multiple values for a single key (and restoring them) * Adds revisioned meta to the preview data via get_post_metadata * Includes unit tests demonstrating feature * Travis CI tests integrated with GitHub repository, props @mattheu ## Screenshots [[ [[ ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6cfc8c01f1ea3a75ec6f7dba8f2a014ef4cca4fd63a50fb3c8772e492e472ecc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t work in 6.2, lots of PHP warnings etc](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-in-6-2-lots-of-php-warnings-etc/)󠁿 [Dennis Bareis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dbareis/) April 2, 2023 I assume it used to work, didn’t work for me. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35314daa56602a02eb8470bb014971b2b9d090bb75b38792ac1399fb066a2650? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still working fine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-working-fine-7/)󠁿 [Marcos Nakamine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marcosnakamine/) September 24, 2021 I tested on WP 5.8.1 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/344653ee76e4fc90cb406062cd8a6fc04977571f5eb09af7ae58736249d65f98? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Freakin' sweet!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/freakin-sweet/)󠁿 [Ryan Hellyer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryanhellyer/) September 3, 2016 DUDE!

This change updates the way meta is stored on the revision to mirror the meta on the post it is created from. props @aaemnnosttv, see https://github.com/adamsilverstein/wp-post-meta- revisions/pull/56. NOTE: This is a breaking change – restoring revisions saved in the previous format may result in the array of values restored as a single value rather than adding a value for each item in the array. The storage of single meta values is unaffected. #### 1.0.0 Tagging release as 1.0. #### 1.0.0 * Simplify by no longer storing whitelist per revision. #### 0.1.9 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **2.0.0** * Last updated **3 years ago** * Active installations **400+** * WordPress version ** 4.1 or higher ** * Tested up to **6.2.9** * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-post-meta-revisions/advanced/) ## Ratings 4.2 out of 5 stars. * [ 4 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 1 1-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-post-meta-revisions/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Adam Silverstein ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/adamsilverstein/) ## Support Got something to say?
