<p>Biddut Revision Cleaner helps you take full control of WordPress post revisions. Set smart retention rules per post type, analyze your database before touching anything, preview exactly what will be deleted, and clean with a single confirmed click — safely and without guesswork.</p>
<p>The plugin covers <strong>all post types that support revisions</strong> — not just public ones. This includes Reusable Blocks (wp_block), Full Site Editing Templates (wp_template), Template Parts (wp_template_part), Navigation menus (wp_navigation), and any custom post type that registers revision support.</p>
<h4>Smart Revision Retention Rules</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Global Retention Limit</strong> — Keep only the last X revisions per post site-wide. Set to -1 for unlimited, 0 to keep none.</li>
<li><strong>Per-Post-Type Limits</strong> — Override the global limit for Posts, Pages, Reusable Blocks, FSE Templates, and any Custom Post Type individually</li>
<li><strong>Age-Based Deletion</strong> — Optionally delete revisions older than a configurable number of days during cleanup</li>
<li><strong>Auto-Draft Cleanup</strong> — Option to remove orphaned auto-drafts alongside revision cleanup</li>
</ul>
<h4>One-Click Safe Cleanup</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Analyze First</strong> — Scan your full database before making any changes</li>
<li><strong>Live Stats</strong> — See total revision count, how many will be deleted, estimated space freed, and number of posts affected</li>
<li><strong>Breakdown Table</strong> — Per-post-type summary showing total revisions, revisions to delete, and active retention limit per type</li>
<li><strong>Preview List</strong> — See individual revisions (up to 50) queued for deletion — post title, date, and author shown</li>
<li><strong>Confirmation Prompt</strong> — Explicit confirmation step before any deletion takes place</li>
</ul>
<h4>Scheduled Cleanup (v1.1.0)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enable Auto-Cleanup</strong> — Run cleanup automatically on a schedule, no manual action required</li>
<li><strong>Daily / Weekly / Monthly</strong> — Choose the default frequency that suits your site</li>
<li><strong>Preferred Run Hour</strong> — Set the hour of the day (0–23, site local time) when the scheduled cleanup fires. Choose an off-peak window to avoid busy traffic periods.</li>
<li><strong>Per-Post-Type Frequency</strong> — Each post type can have its own cleanup schedule independent of the global default. Options: Use Default, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Disabled (excludes the type from scheduled cleanup entirely).</li>
<li><strong>WP-Cron Integration</strong> — Runs silently via WordPress’s built-in task scheduler</li>
<li><strong>Next Run Indicator</strong> — Settings page shows when the next scheduled cleanup will fire</li>
</ul>
<h4>Post-Cleanup Email Notifications (v1.1.0)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enable Email Summary</strong> — Automatically receive a summary email after every scheduled or smart-triggered cleanup run</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Recipients</strong> — Enter one or more email addresses (comma-separated). Invalid addresses are silently skipped.</li>
<li><strong>Email Content</strong> — Summary includes: trigger type, revisions removed, auto-drafts removed, space freed, duration, and the date/time of the next scheduled run</li>
<li><strong>Manual cleanup runs do not trigger an email</strong> — only automated (scheduled or smart) runs send notifications</li>
</ul>
<h4>Smart Trigger Mode (v1.1.0)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enable Smart Triggers</strong> — Master toggle for all threshold-based auto-cleanup</li>
<li><strong>Global Revision Count Threshold</strong> — Trigger a full site-wide cleanup when total revisions exceed a configured number</li>
<li><strong>Per-Post-Type Revision Thresholds</strong> — Each post type can have its own threshold. Only that type is cleaned when its individual count is exceeded — without touching the rest of the site</li>
<li><strong>Database Size Threshold</strong> — Trigger a full site-wide cleanup when the estimated revision table footprint exceeds a configured MB value</li>
<li><strong>Asynchronous Execution</strong> — The threshold check on each page load is lightweight (at most two queries). When triggered, the actual cleanup is dispatched to a background WP-Cron job so the current page request is never blocked</li>
<li><strong>Concurrency guard</strong> — A short-lived transient prevents multiple concurrent jobs from being queued simultaneously</li>
<li><strong>Evaluation order</strong> — Global count <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Per-type counts <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> DB size (each stage only evaluates if the previous did not trigger)</li>
<li>All three thresholds can be enabled simultaneously or independently</li>
<li>Every smart trigger run is logged in Cleanup Logs and triggers an email notification if enabled</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cleanup Logs</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full Cleanup History</strong> — Every cleanup run (manual, scheduled, or smart-triggered) is logged</li>
<li><strong>Log Details</strong> — Date and time, trigger type, number of revisions deleted, auto-drafts removed, estimated space freed, and duration</li>
<li><strong>Aggregate Totals</strong> — Lifetime totals for runs, revisions cleaned, and space freed shown at the top of the logs page</li>
<li><strong>Paginated Log Table</strong> — Proper WordPress-style pagination with Prev/Next buttons, ellipsis for large page counts, and row count summary</li>
<li><strong>Trigger Badges</strong> — Color-coded badges distinguish Manual, Scheduled, and Smart trigger runs</li>
<li><strong>Clear All Logs</strong> — One-click log history reset with confirmation prompt</li>
</ul>
<h4>Post-Level Cleanup</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Per-Post Cleanup Button</strong> — Remove excess revisions for a single post directly from the post editor sidebar, without running a full site cleanup</li>
<li><strong>Revision Count Meta Box</strong> — Displays the current stored revision count and active retention limit per post</li>
<li><strong>Revision Count Column</strong> — See revision counts at a glance in the Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Type list tables</li>
</ul>
<h4>Automatic Revision Trimming</h4>
<ul>
<li>Every time a post is saved, the plugin automatically trims revisions that exceed the configured retention limit for that post type — no manual cleanup needed for new saves</li>
</ul>
<h4>Lightweight & Secure</h4>
<ul>
<li>Covers all revision-supporting post types via post_type_supports() — not just public ones</li>
<li>Built using WordPress native APIs only — no external libraries or dependencies</li>
<li>Nonce verification on every AJAX request and every admin page GET interaction</li>
<li>current_user_can() checks before every privileged action — manage_options for admin operations, edit_post for per-post cleanup</li>
<li>Full input sanitization (sanitize_text_field, absint, sanitize_key, sanitize_textarea_field, wp_unslash) and output escaping throughout</li>
<li>PHP 8.1+ with declare(strict_types=1)</li>
