Super Useful
by mqfell·2 months ago

Thank you for the recent update so that it’s now compatible with latest versions of PHP. Great plugin, super useful, grateful it exists!

A useful and flexible tool
by Chad Butler·8 years ago·1 reply

Ben Balter has put together a solid plugin that does a good job of maintaining documents for your WP install. The plugin works well, and functions as described. The plugin also has filter and action hooks which allow developers to integrate with the plugin without hacking it. It is also translation ready, something that a plugin must have for wide adoption. A five star plugin must be not only usable but flexible. WP Document Revisions meets that qualification.

I hope Ben continues his ongoing development. It’s good to see WP coding standards being implemented. Would be good to see more inline documentation for hooks, but that doesn’t affect functionality at all so it’s more of a want than a need.

This is a good plugin with some good features. Unfortunately, there are some very old reviews that don’t paint an accurate picture. Anytime you read a review, look at its age and compare that to the plugin (or theme’s) current development. In this case, there has been active development in the time since some of the older reviews were written (and in my opinion, some of those other reviews are simply not justified).

If it were still being supported, it would be best plugin.

I’ve been looking a long time for a plugin like WP Document Revision. Still a document management system with workflow status where I can see the revisions and the option to rollback. But it seems that it is not compatible with 4.2.2 because there are no more options to see the logs/revisions. And you can’t change a document online anymore, not with Chrome, Firefox or IE.

And the worst thing: you don’t get answers or support anymore. This plugin is so nice. What a pity!

This needs to be continued.

This is the best document management plugin in WordPress. Still surprisingly works with 4.1.

Needs an Update
by seamstobesew·11 years ago

Unfortunately, for me anyway, if I keep this plugin installed, the Media Gallery images do not show up on the library page.

If I uninstall it, the media gallery shows back up, but I lose the ability to see anything on “new post or new page” type pages, thus it doesn’t allow me to create a new post or page.

it took me hours of deactivating and reinstalling plugins to figure out which plugin was causing the problem.

So I’m screwed either way, either no images on the media library, or no ability to post. Please fix this problem. I’d at least like to remove the plugin.
