Every change on record

A bad edit is a restore, not an incident

Open editing only works when undo is easy. The history sits on the page itself, the comparison is a genuine diff, and putting a version back takes one click.

  • Every save, listed

    Who changed the page and when, on the page itself rather than in wp-admin, so the people writing the wiki can see its history without an editor account.

  • A real side-by-side diff

    Pick a version, compare it against the page as it stands now, and read the additions and removals marked up line by line.

  • One click back

    Restore the version you were looking at. Anyone who can edit the page can do it, which is the point of a wiki and worth knowing if you would rather it were not.

The shape of the history

Three things about how far back it goes

Compared against now, not against each other
The comparison always runs between one revision and the current page. Two old versions cannot be lined up directly, so tracing a change across several edits means stepping through them.
Twenty-five deep by default
Older revisions are pruned to keep the table healthy. Raise the limit if your pages get heavy editing and you want the long tail kept.
Fifty shown, unpaginated
The history screen lists up to fifty entries in one go. Plenty for a normal page, worth knowing for one that gets edited daily.

SIX WIKI BASICS

What makes a WordPress wiki more than a pile of pages

Check any wiki plugin against these six jobs. Here is how WB Member Wiki covers each one.

Members can edit, not just read

Members create and edit pages from a front-end form. You choose which roles may edit pages other people wrote.

Front-end editor

Every change is recoverable

Each save is a revision. Compare it against the current page side by side and restore an older one.

Diff and restore

Pages link and nest

[[Page Title]] links pages, and red links flag missing ones. Parent pages, categories and tags give the wiki a shape.

Links, hierarchy, taxonomies

Rights follow roles

Set create, edit others' pages, delete and protect per WordPress role. Moderated roles need approval first.

Role permissions

No silent overwrites

When one member is editing, others see who holds the page. Drafts auto-save while they type.

Edit locking + auto-save

Changes reach the right people

Recent Changes shows the latest edits. Members who watch a page get an email when it changes.

Recent changes + watchlist
Settings > Permissions

Decide who writes, who fixes and who approves

A wiki works when the right people can edit. Rights are set per WordPress role, so plugins that assign roles shape access too.

Edit others' pages
Turn this on for the roles you trust to improve pages they did not write.
Protect key pages
Only the person who protected a page and site admins can edit it.
Moderated roles
Pages from these roles wait in Pending Review until an editor approves them.
Permissions tab with role toggles for creating, editing others pages, deleting, protecting and moderated roles

Toggles per role for creating, editing others' pages, deleting, protecting and moderation.

Wiki tools members use from the front end

Everything below works on the public side of your site, inside your theme.

  • Side-by-side revision diffs

    Compare any revision against the current page and restore an older one when an edit goes wrong.

  • Red links show what to write

    A [[link]] to a page that does not exist yet shows red and opens the create form.

  • Contents box from headings

    Pages with three or more headings get a collapsible table of contents.

  • Edit locking

    When a member is editing, others see who holds the page. The lock refreshes while they work.

  • Recent changes and contributions

    Browse the latest edits across the wiki, or everything one member has written.

  • Watchlist emails

    Members watch pages and get an email when one of them changes.

  • Search as you type

    Suggestions appear while members type, and category chips narrow the page list.

  • Sub-pages and breadcrumbs

    Nest pages under a parent. Each page lists its sub-pages and shows breadcrumbs.

  • Contributors on every page

    The sidebar lists everyone who edited the page, with the last modified date and revision count.

Real screens

A wiki page from the inside

A full wiki page: action buttons, contents box, contributors, linked pages and sub-pages.

The dashboard links to Recent Changes, Categories, Random Page, My Watchlist and Pending Review.

Display settings for the contents box, contributors, last modified date, revision count and view count.

On BuddyPress, each profile shows how many wiki pages that member created and edited.

Rated 4.8/5 on Trustpilot from 96 reviews

Top notch support! I've been frustrated generally by the slow support for most themes and plugins, but they are helpful and quick to reply. Highly recommend!

I wanted to build a community website and these guys created the perfect plugins for me. To be honest, I want to buy every single one of their plugins.

Choosing a wiki plugin for WordPress

Is WB Member Wiki free like Yada Wiki?
No. It is a paid plugin from $49 a year or $149 lifetime for one site. Every license includes every feature, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can members edit pages someone else wrote?
Yes, if their role has Edit Others' Pages turned on. Admins always can. Protected pages stay locked to the person who protected them and to admins.
Does it use wikitext markup?
No. Pages are written in the classic WordPress editor. The one wiki syntax it adds is [[Page Title]] for links.
How are pages organized?
Pages can have a parent page, Wiki Categories and Wiki Tags. The dashboard filters by category and sorts by last modified or views.
Will it match my theme?
It renders inside your theme. To change the markup, copy a template to yourtheme/wb-member-wiki/ and edit it there.
Can I run it without BuddyPress?
Yes. Standalone mode uses the Wiki Dashboard page created on activation. BuddyPress, BuddyBoss and PeepSo integration switches on only when detected.
Can search engines index the wiki?
Yes. Published wiki pages are public and output TechArticle and breadcrumb schema, Open Graph tags and a canonical URL.
