What is going on and do I need to be worried? I’ve used WP Engine for 3+ years now (originally at the advice of people on this sub) with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but today I keep seeing stuff like this.
WP engine turns OFF revision history?? I thought that was always a cool core feature of WordPress, you could back track changes if need be or see the edit history for a post or page. Not a WP engine customer but damn….
So this person’s best argument that WP Engine is butchering WordPress is that they turn off revisions unless you ask to turn them on? It’s a really weak argument, especially when they save 30 days of backups, standard.
There are legit reasons to not use WP Engine but it’s also true that they add a lot of value (backups, staging and dev environments, good support, caching, CDN support, git support, etc).
If you’re going to claim WP Engine is as bad as this person says it is, have a better argument.
Ok but they also auto backup the site every 24 hours and store that, which I assume would cost a lot more than storing revisions?
I run a competitor to WP Engine.
From an average customer’s perspective, this drama is not really going to affect you in my opinion.
Are you getting very limited for the price you pay? Yes.
Them turning off revision history is just a prime example.
I’m going to need a lot more substance Matt.
I’m on an agency plan and the bang for buck is top tier
