Post Revision Display

Download at Post Revision Display

Want a way to show an "audit trail" for blog posts? Possible uses:

• For web publishers, to allow the freedom of updating stories without worrying about confusing or deceiving readers. Anyone can see the changes.
• For academic/student use of blogs, so students can't "sneak" posts around submission deadlines by futzing around with the publish date.

On single post views, this plugin will display a list of all post-publication revisions, showing revision times, authors, and links to view them.

When a previous revision is being displayed, <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> will be added to the page header if the standard <?php wp_head() ?> hook is used in the theme's header file.

CSS: stylesheet classes/IDs used:

• <div class="revision-header">
• <div class="post-revisions">
• <div id="revision-diffs">

• Scott Rosenberg's call for web publishers to "show your work!"
