A useful and flexible tool

Ben Balter has put together a solid plugin that does a good job of maintaining documents for your WP install. The plugin works well, and functions as described. The plugin also has filter and action hooks which allow developers to integrate with the plugin without hacking it. It is also translation ready, something that a plugin must have for wide adoption. A five star plugin must be not only usable but flexible. WP Document Revisions meets that qualification.

I hope Ben continues his ongoing development. It’s good to see WP coding standards being implemented. Would be good to see more inline documentation for hooks, but that doesn’t affect functionality at all so it’s more of a want than a need.

This is a good plugin with some good features. Unfortunately, there are some very old reviews that don’t paint an accurate picture. Anytime you read a review, look at its age and compare that to the plugin (or theme’s) current development. In this case, there has been active development in the time since some of the older reviews were written (and in my opinion, some of those other reviews are simply not justified).
