Simple Editor Control

Simple Editor Control silently records every file change made through the WordPress built-in plugin editor and theme editor. 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.
