I’m wanting to use the “Email Post Changes” plugin to keep track of edits that take place on my site. However, the GeoDirectory custom post type for Places doesn’t seem to support revisions, even though I tried to modify the plugin to maintain revisions.

The Email Post Changes plugin only tracks changes to post types that support revisions, which makes it useless for GeoDirectory. Is there a way that I can change the setting to make the plugins work together?

Thanks.

Have a look at this post: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/does-the-framework-got-wordpress-revisions/

Let us know how you went.

I already checked wp-config, and it was already enabled, and I even tried changing this:
```
if ( !defined('WP_POST_REVISIONS') )
	define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0);
```
But nothing changed. I was looking here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Arguments

Under “supports,” and I was wondering if the gd_place custom post type has actually been registered as supporting revisions.

I’ll get Stiofan to have a look at this.

It doesn’t support revisions and you can see what it supports by default in the custom post type menu:

Author
Thumbnail
Excerpt
Custom fields
Comments
Post formats

However there is a hook there and we can add anything on the fly…

Try this:

add_filter(‘geodir_post_type_args’,’geodir_post_type_args_my_filter’,10,2);
function geodir_post_type_args_my_filter( $args , $post_type){
if($post_type==’gd_place’){
$args[‘supports’][]=’revisions’;
}
return $args;
}

This should add revisions to gd_places.

we haven’t tested it.

Let us know,

Thx

That would be in your child theme’s functions.php

Ok, this is the error I’m getting:
```
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'supports' (T_STRING) in /home/kjbonly/kjbonly.com/wp-content/themes/geodir_gdf-modern-child/functions.php on line 11
```
On this:
```
$args['supports'][]=’revisions’;
```
Anything I can change?

I commented out the errant lines so that the site would function.

I’ve asked Stiofan to review the function.

Thanks for your patience,

I’m going with a different plugin instead, and hopefully that will work. I do think that revisions is an important feature to add to GD.

Paolo, did Stiofan ever get this resolved? I’m going to need revisions for my listings. In the past we have had people with malicious intent come in and damage listings, delete content, etc.

Hi,

GD will not able to use posts revisions as part of the information isn’t available in regular wp_posts database table, but they are only available in custom tables, so any revision would have missing information.

A regular backup is a much better solution for your problem.

Thanks
