It makes my Wordpress crash. Had to go into PHPMyAdmin to turn this unsupported 
software off.

Why did I not find this earlier? Good bye backup plugins. Good bye staging plugins.
Thank you for Revisr!

### 󠀁[Limited use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/limited-use-2/)󠁿

 [ealsedewilde](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ealsedewilde/) February 11, 2019

This plugin seems to mix version control with backups. I want version control on
my website, but not necessarily on my WordPress installation. When I checkout an
older version of my website, I stil want the latest version of WordPress and it’s
plugins. Furthermore I don’t see the purpose of version control on wp-content/uploads.
I don’t have various versions of the same picture. For my site I have moved wp-content/
uploads to a save raid storage outside the WordPress folder an thus outside the 
local git-repository. Strangely enough Revisr uses the uploads folder for database
backups. So for me the database backups are also outside the local git-repository.
I would be much better if Revisr uses a separate wp-content/backups folder. The 
last remark; there is no support for SSH keys in connecting to remote git-reposities.
All this leads me to the conclusion that Revisr is of limited use.

I am extremely happy to see this plugin get the update it deserves. Spectacular 
work, this plugin in a lifesaver! An absolute must if you’re working with WordPress
on several environments. I don’t know how I ever survived without it! Thank you 
for the brilliant work!

### 󠀁[Looks Promising – But no development in 3 years?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looks-promising-but-no-development-in-3-years/)󠁿

 [guldam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/guldam/) July 9, 2018

I am looking for some sort of versioning support for Wordpress. Too many people 
have access to a site I manage, and Git makes good sense. But as my mouse lingers
over the link to download and install this plugin, I see it hasn’t had any updates
in three years. This means it is essentially dead, and I’m not installing. Sad.
