Hello GD Support,
After losing three hours editing a post in WordPress because I couldn’t find any of the saved versions, I did some searching and asked my webhost, LightningBase, if they knew why revisions weren’t being saved. Here’s the reply I just received from LightningBase:
—
Running a search on the files in your site, it appears that GeoDirectory is disabling these:
./wp-content/plugins/geodir_custom_posts/geodir_custom_posts.php: define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 0); // To stop post revisions for wordpress
./wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory.php:if (!defined(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’)) define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 0);
I’m not sure why they are doing that, it could be for performance reasons or some type of conflict. One option would be to manually edit the code, but that is cumbersome, you’ll have to redo it every time GeoDirectory updates, and if they are deactivating these for a reason it may be harmful. The better option if revisions are important to you would be to contact GeoDirectory and ask why they are disabling post revisions.

Can this setting be changed? If saving WP revisions is problematic going forward I will know better and change how I write and edit in WordPress, but I just lost three hours of good work.
Thanks for your help.
