<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>Why you should use this plugin?</h4>
<p>Each time you click <strong>Save Draft</strong> or <strong>Update</strong>, a revision is saved on the database.<br />
