The Ultimate Guide to WordPress / WordPress Post Modification

One of the best things about WordPress is its built-in revision control system. You don’t have to worry that you lose your previously written version, as each revision is save separately in the database and you can easily move back and forth between them.

WordPress’ revision system works similar to code version control systems like Git or Subversion, only it almost fully automatic (you don’t have to bother with the command line stuff). It gives space for a advanced content management processes and considerable reduce the risk of content loss.

Localization

Revision management is somewhat hidden in the WP admin, because it no separate menu in the sidebar.

You can access it from either “Edit Post” (Bài viết> Tất cả bài viết> Chỉnh sửa) or “Edit page” screen (Trang> Tất cả các trang> Chỉnh sửa). The “Modify” menu is located just to the right of the WordPress editor, inside the “Publish” box. Click the “Browse” button to access the edit management screen.

The revision management screen allows you to check the difference between different versions of your article. The main part of the page is uploaded Other comparison tools.

The text strings that have been removed from the old version are red markwhile the strings added in the next version are marked in green.

There is another way to access edits from the “Edit Post” (or “Edit Page”) screen. Open the “Screen Options” menu at the top of the page, and check “Modify” Option. It add an extra box below the WordPress editor from where you can access the revisions.

Automatic car

WordPress also generates revisions by auto save feature. Auto save as enabled for all posts and pages by default and you can’t turn it offhowever it can auto interval change (see below). The default value of autosave is 60 seconds.

You don’t have to worry about having too many autosaves in the database, like new autosaves overwrite the old ones. Autosaves do not rewrite posts (as regular versions do), they are stored as special modification type. Their sole purpose is to allow you restore automatic backup if your browser unexpectedly shuts down.

Compare revisions

You can compare two versions by move range slider the top of the Edit screen. You can also Use “Previous” and “Next” buttons to change the position of the slider.

Note that on this screen, you revisions cannot be editedjust check the difference between them.

By default, you can compare two adjacent versions. However, if you check “Compare any two versions” checkbox you can also see the difference between post versions without each other.

When this check box is selected, the range slider be held by two hands and a “From city to city” box appears below it so you can easily see the two versions you are comparing.

After clicking the button, modification option appears inside the WordPress post editor and you get informed on the top of the screen, that reminds you of the recovery.
