    After updating to 3.6 on multiple client sites, on different servers, and with different themes, I can no longer find Revisions when editing pages. It is also not available as an option under Screen Options.

    Revisions are present for Posts but I also need them for Pages. Any ideas?

    I have tried turning off all plugins and also using Twenty Twelve theme but no luck.

    Thanks!

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    I just tested this on a localhost site on my Mac laptop.
    -no plugins
    -Twenty Twelve theme
    -WordPress 3.5.2 updated to 3.6
    No revisions on Pages even after making a revision

    Same site with all files except wp-content and wp-config overwritten with fresh download of WP 3.6
    Revision show up on pages after a page edit

    We cannot seriously expect all users to manually overwrite the WordPress core files on every live install to get page revisions.

    I think this is a bug.

    I can access Revisions just fine on all of my (approx) 15 sites. So it’s not a bug in WordPress core.

    This is happening for me on over 20 sites on different servers with different themes including the default Twenty Twelve. What do you think it might be? This has never happened with all these sites in any previous upgrade.

    No idea. Thus far, I’ve not come across even one other WordPress 3.6 user with this problem.

    I just encountered this problem on a fresh install of WordPress using Fantastico via cPanel, then upgrading to 3.6 using the WordPress update feature. No plugins enabled at all. I’ve updated the page a couple times, and also defined the “WP_POST_REVISIONS” to true.

    Weird. I just went in and made 2 additional changes, and now the revisions checkbox is there in the screen options. I swear I had already made 2 revisions. though those two revisions were prior to adding the WP_POST_REVISIONS to the wp-config.php file.

    In future, and as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic. Posting in an existing topic prevents us from being able to track issues by topic. Added to which, your problem – despite any similarity in symptoms – is likely to be completely different.

    Um… really? In reading the initial post, this problem I encountered seemed very much similar to the original poster. And if I had went to post an entirely new topic, I think I would have missed a potential interaction with someone experiencing a similar problem. From what I can see, the original poster has not resolved the problem, so this seemed like the most appropriate place to post.

    Your instruction to post a separate topic seems counter intuitive, and could potentially result in multiple posts on the same topic without resolution because we’re not communicating with each other.

    It turns out that is was a setting in the wp-config.php file that my host, wpengine.com, put there.

    It was:
    define('WP_POST_REVISIONS',false);

    All worked when I made it:
    define('WP_POST_REVISIONS',true);
