<p>Unless post revisions are explicitly limited, WordPress will build up a hefty sum of revisions over time. While it’s great to have revision history for some recent content, the chances that old revisions will be necessary diminish the longer a post has been published. Revision Strike is designed to automatically remove these unneeded revisions on older, published posts.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>First, a threshold is set, with a default of 30 days. Once a day, Revision Strike will run and find any post revisions in the database attached to published posts with a post date of at least 30 (or your custom threshold) days ago, and “strike” (tear-down and remove) them from the WordPress database.</p>

<h4>Abstract</h4>
<p>As its default behavior, WordPress makes a new revision when you update your post.<br />
This also happens when you do a preview before publication.<br />
This is too often even if you like revision control. Thin Out Revisions (TOR), a plugin<br />
for WordPress, will help you to keep unwanted revisions out.</p>
<h4>Basic Feature</h4>
<p>You can remove intermediate revisions during comparing in ‘compare two revisions’ mode in revision.php. To do it, simply press the ‘Thin Out’ button (fig. 1 in the screenshots page).<br />
And you can also remove each single revision from the Edit Post/Page screen (fig. 2).</p>
<p>WordPress 3.5 and prior, which have an old revision screen, are no longer supported.</p>
<h4>When you publish a post</h4>
<p>If you are a careful author, I guess you have many revisions as a result of preview checks.<br />
TOR can clean them when you first publish your post.<br />
Just simply enable the following option in the ‘Settings’ – ‘Thin Out Revisions’ admin page (fig. 3).</p>
<ul>
<li>Delete revisions on initial publication</li>
</ul>
<h4>Bulk erase of old revisions</h4>
<p>You can remove old revisions on the fly or daily as a scheduled task (fig. 3).</p>
<h4>Revision Memo</h4>
<p>The Revision Memo feature enables you to put a short text note on revisions. See the pictures (fig. 4, 5) in screenshots page.<br />
Make sure that you check the ‘Revision Memo’ screen option in Edit Post (Edit Page) screen.</p>
<h4>More to Describe</h4>
<ul>
<li>TOR works fine in multisite environment. </li>
</ul>
