I am trying to enable revisions for an existing custom post type. As the post type was already created about 2 years ago so where the post type was register I added revisions to the supports array.
Earlier my code was like:
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Products',
'singular_name' => 'Product',
'all_items' => 'All Products',
'add_new' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Products',
'new_item' => 'New Product',
'view_item' => 'View Product',
'search_items' => 'Search Products',
'not_found' => 'No Prducsts Found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products in Trash',
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$supports = array(
'title',
'custom-fields',
'editor',
'thumbnail'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ),
'has_archive' => true,
'supports' => $supports
);
register_post_type('products', $args);
And now it looks like:
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Products',
'singular_name' => 'Product',
'all_items' => 'All Products',
'add_new' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Products',
'new_item' => 'New Product',
'view_item' => 'View Product',
'search_items' => 'Search Products',
'not_found' => 'No Prducsts Found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products in Trash',
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$supports = array(
'title',
'custom-fields',
'editor',
'thumbnail',
'revisions'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ),
'has_archive' => true,
'supports' => $supports
);
register_post_type('products', $args);
This code didn't enable revisions in the custom post type.
Then I found another code which I added to my theme's function.php:
function add_revisions_custom_post()
{
add_post_type_support( 'products', 'revisions' );
}
add_action('init','add_revisions_custom_post');
This one is also not working.
Can anyone suggest me how I can enable revisions?
Thanks in advance.

try this
First, make sure the basics are all in place:
register_post_type includes 'revisions' in the supports args arrayWP_POST_REVISIONS is either not defined or set to true in wp-config.phpNext, make sure you actually have two versions of the post you're trying to test.
You should now see revisions available and be able to revert to old versions.
