When you register your CPT, you need to manually add support for revisions. Only title and editor are set as defaults. Check out the [codex][1]. So if you need to enable revisions, you need to add it like this `'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'revisions' ),` in your `$args = array()` when registering your CPT. Just for info, here are the other arguments you can pass to 'supports' 'title' 'editor' (content) 'author' 'thumbnail' (featured image, current theme must also support post-thumbnails) 'excerpt' 'trackbacks' 'custom-fields' 'comments' (also will see comment count balloon on edit screen) 'revisions' (will store revisions) 'page-attributes' (menu order, hierarchical must be true to show Parent option) 'post-formats' add post formats, see Post Formats **EDIT** Thanks to @jammypeach, it is important to know, the revision metabox will not show up until there are actually revisions for the post. If there are no revisions, the revision meta box will not show [1]: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
