For each save it stores the diff, the editor who made it, and the timestamp — giving you a full, browsable history. **Features** * Automatic tracking — no setup required. Every save through the WP file editor is captured. * Git-style diff viewer with side-by-side and line-by-line modes. * Adjustable context lines (0, 3, 5, 10, 20). * Point-in-time file recovery — download any file as it existed at any past revision. * Works with all plugins and all active themes. * Accurate LCS-based diff engine (same algorithm as GNU diff / git) — handles insertions, deletions and replacements correctly. * Fully translatable. **Use cases** * See exactly what changed when something broke. * Verify that no unauthorised changes were made to your plugin or theme files. * Recover a previous version of a file without restoring a full backup. ## Foto ekrani * [[ * [[ ## Instalim 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/simple-editor-control/`. 2. Activate through **Plugins Installed Plugins**. 3. Go to **Tools Simple Editor Control** to see the audit trail. 4. Start editing plugin or theme files through the WP file editor — changes are captured automatically. ## PBR ### Does it work with the Gutenberg block editor? Simple Editor Control hooks into the WP file editor (plugin-editor.php / theme-editor. php), not the post editor. It is unrelated to Gutenberg. ### Are changes tracked if I edit files via FTP or SSH? No. Only changes made through the WordPress admin file editor are tracked. ### Is the full file stored for every revision? No. Only the first save stores the full file content (snapshot). Subsequent saves store only the diff, keeping the database footprint small. ### Can I delete the history? Yes. Deactivating the plugin preserves your history. To remove it entirely, delete the plugin — an uninstall hook will drop the database table. ### What happens on very large files? The LCS diff engine works well on files up to a few thousand lines. For very large files (> ~3,000 lines with low similarity), a fast-path algorithm is used that treats the change as a full replacement. ## Shqyrtime ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c4c69c0a9e0098d951460c12fd1d8ecbd8ecf9588215dc76a29116ea2a329b60? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Go and download it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/go-and-download-it-4/)󠁿 [Thomas Lloancy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tlloancy/) 1 Dhjetor, 2024 Wordpress editor is very handy, and you can see the difference made when a plugin or theme was edited using that tool.

First click arms it (turns red, shows “Confirm?”); second click restores the file on disk immediately, no FTP required. * New: The restoration itself is recorded as a new revision in the audit trail ( flagged “Restored”), so the history stays complete and every rollback is reversible. * New: `source_type` column (`plugin`/`theme`) stored per revision — enables accurate path resolution on restore for both plugin files and theme files. * New: Inline success/error/info notice after restore, fades out automatically. * New: `is_restore` badge in the revision timeline for rollback entries. * New: File name in diff view is a clickable link that opens the file directly in the WP editor (new tab). Correctly resolves plugin main file via `get_plugins()` and handles themes. * Fixed: Context lines and view mode selectors now re-render the diff instantly from cached data — no extra AJAX call, no stale early-return bug. * Fixed: DB schema auto-upgrades on plugin load via `plugins_loaded` using both` dbDelta` and explicit `ALTER TABLE` — `dbDelta` silently skips new columns on existing tables when `COMMENT` clauses are present. * i18n: All restore strings translatable. ### 4.1.0 (11-May-2026) Fixed: Initial Revision Logic: Added a specific case to handle the first-ever revision using the stored snapshot. This allows the diff to display correctly even when no prior history exists in the database. ### 4.0.1 (11-May-2026) * Blunderman Syndrome: Fixed incorrect table name reference (sec_revisions). ### 4.0.0 “Reborn” (11-May-2026) * Architectural Shift: Complete migration from file_modifications to the new sec_revisions table. Old data is deprecated in favor of a robust LCS-based diff system. * Security (Hardened): All AJAX endpoints now strictly require nonce validation + manage_options capability. * Security (Hardened): File download no longer exposes raw content without authentication. * Security (Hardened): Bulletproof path traversal prevention on snapshot reads. * Security (Hardened): Strict $wpdb->prepare() usage and esc_sql() on all table interpolations. * Fixed: Replaced old diff engine with a high-precision LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) algorithm — accurate insertions and deletions tracking. * Fixed: File content stored as raw PHP text, not HTML-encoded — no more decode/ encode round-trip corruption. * Fixed: load_plugin_textdomain() deprecated second parameter removed. * Improved: New two-panel admin UI — sidebar plugin list, timeline, and professional diff viewer. * Improved: Diff viewer powered by diff2html with real-time syntax highlighting. * Improved: Context line count and view mode (side-by-side/inline) switchable live without page reload. * Improved: Revision list grouped by file with download-at-revision button per entry. * Improved: Performance optimization with wp_cache_get/set on revision list queries. * Improved: All enqueued scripts/styles pass plugin version for cache busting. * Removed: Standalone ajax/get_plugin_details.php (replaced by proper wp_ajax_ actions). * Removed: REST API route (replaced by wp_ajax_ actions with nonce + capability check). * i18n: All strings translatable; JS strings passed through wp_localize_script(). #### 3.0.1 * Minor fixes. ## Të tjera * Version **5.0.0** * Përditësuar së fundi më **5 ditë më parë** * Instalime aktive **10+** * Version WordPress-i ** 5.5 ose më i madh ** * E provuar deri me **7.0** * Version PHP-je ** 7.4 ose më i madh ** * Gjuhë * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-editor-control/) * Etiketa * [audit](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/audit/)[diff](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/diff/) [file editor](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/file-editor/)[plugin editor](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/plugin-editor/) [theme editor](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/theme-editor/) * [Pamje e Thelluar](https://sq.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-editor-control/advanced/) ## Vlerësime 5 nga 5 yje të mundshëm. * [ 1 shqyrtim me 5 yje ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 shqyrtime me 4 yje ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 shqyrtime me 3 yje ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 shqyrtime me 2 yje ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 shqyrtime me 1 yje ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/#new-post) [Shihni krejt shqyrtimet](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-editor-control/reviews/) ## Kontribues * [ Thomas Lloancy ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tlloancy/) ## Asistencë Keni diçka për të thënë?
