I made a mistake while working in Cornerstone. I didn’t see any “undo” options so I reverted to an earlier revision. That restored my page correctly. However, when I tried to go back into Cornerstone for that page (my home page) it only showed me the version with the mistakes, not the earlier revision of the page. So, I can’t continue to work on a page in Cornerstone once I go to an earlier revision. I just go in circles.

Does Cornerstone not work with the earlier page revision function? If not, how do I get to an earlier version and undo mistakes when I make them?

Please advise.

Regards,

Bob

Hello Robert,

You can delete or edit the elements to go back to a previous version but you can’t undo it to previous look with click on button. Any changes made outside of Cornerstone will not reflect when you Edit it again in Cornerstone.

Hope it helps.

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the confusion, there is a standard WordPress method of going back to any previous revision. Same is applied for Cornerstone. You can revert any changes and go back to any previous revision you’d like in CS too. This can be done via Publish > Revisions on the right side of your screen in page editor. If you’re not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them.

Cheers!

OK. I think I’ve got it now.

Thank you very much.

Hello, I have this exact same problem. I was trying to save a small section of a page as a template block, and I accidentally pressed save page when I had deleted everything except the small section I wanted to make a template from. When I reverted to a previous revision via page editor, the page was restored but Cornerstone doesn’t reflect the change.

Your instructions say to do this:
“This can be done via Publish > Revisions on the right side of your screen in page editor. Then select the post and page modules to include them.”

I can’t find that option despite having every option showing, and I do not see a place to select post and page modules to include.

Can you please clarify?

Hi Tiff,

I just checked it on my end and yes, looks like a bug. I’ll forward this issue and get this sorted.

Thanks!

There seems to be some conflicting information here. One reply says that any changes made outside cornerstone, including the revert revision, does not appear in Cornerstone. THis is what I am experiencing.

Then it is said that:

with a continuing reply that there is a bug.

So, which is it? Can cornerstone revert changes or not? I too have made a mistake and reverted to a previous wordpress version, but it is not showing in cornerstone, only the page with the mistake.

Any resolution here?

Hi Gregory,

Sorry for the confusion.

Cornerstone in itself cannot revert changes but it uses wordpress page revisions so if you revert your page using wordpress revision the changes should reflect in cornerstone.

I just tried it in my test site and it is not doing it. Revisions are reflected on the front end but not cornerstone.

We have forwarded this to our web development team as a bug and should be fix soon.

Please stay tuned for updates.

Thanks

Me too, revisions work great but don’t show up in cornerstone when i go back in.

Any news?

thanks!

Hi Scott,

Still working on it, but you may apply this temporary fix. Please edit this file,

/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/includes/classes/admin/class-revision-manager.php

And change this code:

if ( apply_filters( 'cornerstone_disable_revisions', false ) || !CS()->common()->uses_cornerstone() ) return;

to this:

if ( apply_filters( 'cornerstone_disable_revisions', false ) ) return;

Please note that you can’t restore your revision back and forth, you should only restore it backward in older date from your current content’s date. And you can’t use revision if you’re doing changes on classic editor while adding changes to cornerstone builder.

And this fix will not restore or retrieve your cornerstone content. This only applies to changes from the date you apply the fix.

In short, this is a simple revision that only works for older date relative to your current content, and only works within cornerstone builder. Editing outside the builder will destroy revisions made from cornerstone builder. We’re currently investigating this area and kind of tricky, stay tuned.

Thanks.
