<p>Revision Control is a plugin for WordPress which gives the user more control over the Revision functionality.</p>
<p>The plugin allows the user to set a site-global setting (Settings -> Revisions) for pages/posts to enable/disable/limit the number of revisions which are saved for the page/post. The user may change this setting on a per-page/post basis from the Revisions Meta box.</p>
<p>The plugin also allows the deletion of specific revisions via the Revisions post metabox.</p>


Revision Control

Revision Control allows finer control over the Post Revision system included with WordPress

Brice Capobianco

<p><strong>Let you delete your posts revisions individually or all at once (purge or bulk action). Compatible with Gutenberg (experimental) and classic editor.</strong></p>
<h4>What does it do?</h4>
<p>Simple Revisions Delete adds a discreet link within a post submit box to let you purge (delete) its revisions via AJAX. Bulk actions also available.</p>
<p>It helps you keep a clean database by removing unnecessary posts revisions. Unlike other similar plugins, it lets you delete only specific posts revisions, not all your site revisions at once.<br />
The plugin is perfectly integrated in the WordPress back-end, and uses native core functions to safely delete revisions.<br />
It is very lightweight, very simple to use, and just does the job!</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>The plugin adds a discreet link in the post submit box, next to the default revisions counter (see screenshots section).<br />
When you click on it, it will purge the appropriate post revisions via AJAX (no JS is also support).<br />
It also add a new bulk action option in the post/page row view to let you purge revisions of multiple posts at once.</p>
<h4>What’s new?</h4>
<p><strong>Since v2</strong> you can now purge all your posts revisions from within the Gutenberg editor.<br />
Keep in mind that this feature is experimental. I haven’t yet find any way to make it works in a proper way with the current block editor available methods. I’m using jQuery (and AJAX) which is pretty much a hack (a workaround) and not a clean method considering the langages using by the Block Editor.</p>
<p><strong>Since v1.3</strong> you can delete a single revision at once (see screenshots).</p>

<p>NOTE: There is no admin page for this plugin – none is needed.</p>
<h4>Post Types support</h4>
<p>The default supported post types are <strong>post</strong> and <strong>page</strong>, but you can easily add custom post types or remove default post types with the following hook:</p>
<pre><code>function bweb_wpsrd_add_post_types( $postTypes ){
    $postTypes[] = 'additional-cpt';
    $postTypes[] = 'another-cpt';
    return $postTypes;
}
add_filter( 'wpsrd_post_types_list', 'bweb_wpsrd_add_post_types' );
</code></pre>
<p>See CODEX to add support to all CPTs: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_types</p>
<h4>Custom user capability</h4>
<p>The default capability to purge or remove rivisions is delete_post, but you can override this with the following hook:</p>
<pre><code>function bweb_wpsrd_capability() {
    return 'edit_post';
}
add_filter('wpsrd_capability', 'bweb_wpsrd_capability');
</code></pre>
<h4>Languages</h4>
<p>The plugin only bears a few sentences, but you can easily translate them through .MO & .PO files. Currently available languages are:</p>

Simple Revisions Delete


Installed and activated on WordPress 6.2.2, opened a page in the block editor and clicked Purge. Done.



A really clean implementation of this feature. Very nice work @brikou!



When you get a chance, give it a test run yourself in WordPress 6.3 and update the Tested up to header. This shouldn't be missed out on because of a "Has not been tested with your version of WordPress" message!


Clean and simple
