Is there an option of including custom fields in revisions?
Something similar to: hidden link

Thanks,

Hi Amir,

Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately no its not possible to have the custom fields natively in the revisions using our Types plugin.

This is something that would need to be done using some 3rd party custom code like this below.

Or you can try using the plugin in the github link below.

If you're not sure of how to implement this as it will take a little PHP knowledge to do so, we have a list of developers that you can contact to get this setup for you.

I haven't tested either of these solutions, however it is a step in the right direction to get this working for you.

Thanks,
Shane

OK, I will take a look over the links you provided.

Please note that several of your competitors in the custom fields segment (ACF, PODS, metabox) have either integrated or third party plug and play solutions for including custom fields in revisions.

I think that it is a very useful feature and I've seen multiple threads in your forums seeking for that. Please consider this in your future releases.

Thanks,
Amir.

Hi Amir,

What you can do is to go to the link below and submit the feature request so that our team responsible for this can bring it towards the development team.

However I do recommend that you explore the solution below.

Hi Shane,

I filed the feature request.
I also tried the solution on hidden link
I followed the directions and made the required PHP adjustments in the functions.php file but unfortunately, it did not work for me. It probably requires deeper code customization to get it to work.

Hi Amir,

It could quite be possible that this is the case.

However an advise is that when you're adding the keys for our Toolset custom fields you would need add the "wpcf-" prefix to the custom field slug.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Thanks again. I'm familiar with the 'wpcf-' prefix from an Essential Grid implementation we had in the past and I used it accordingly in this case.

If you are aware of any resource or contact that successfully implemented the Toolset Fields in revisions using the solutions you added before, I would be glad to know of them as it may provide me with specific guidance.

Thanks!
Amir.

Hi Amir,

Unfortunately no i'm not aware of any specific solution that would work without any form of custom code.

You can also have a look here too

Apart from this I cannot give a direct answer or advise since this isn't directly supported by the wordpress core.

Thanks,
Shane
