Publish historical versions of a post, or fork a live post for a future update.
Public versions
- Open the Revisions sidebar on a supported post (
postandpageby default; charts opt in via Chart Builder). - Toggle a WordPress revision to public. The plugin assigns the next version letter (
a,b, …z,aa, …). - Share
/post-slug/version/a(letter from the toggle response). Visitors see that revision's content and a versioned title. - Public revisions are protected from WordPress revision pruning.
Removing a public version does not reuse its letter; the next toggle increments past the highest letter in use.
Fork (future revision)
- From the Revisions / post status UI, create a fork of a published post.
- Edit the fork draft independently. A yellow admin-bar banner marks fork previews. On All Posts, the STATUS column shows Future Revision on the fork draft and Has Future Revision on the published parent.
- Publish the fork to merge it back into the parent (content, meta, taxonomies, attachments). The fork is then trashed as merged.
- Discard a pending fork with the trash/discard action. Content is not merged.
Only one active fork per parent is allowed. A second fork attempt returns an error until the first is merged or discarded.
Forks do not appear in publication listing queries.
Version list block
Insert Revision List (prc-revisions/list) to show linked public versions (optional dates). Renders nothing when the post has no public revisions.
