<p>Optimize your website’s performance and streamline your editing workflow with the Time-based Revision Cleanup plugin for WordPress. Our plugin offers a sophisticated solution to the limitations of the default number-based revision system, which can quickly become inadequate for active sites. Instead of restricting revisions to a set count, our plugin allows you to specify a timeframe for keeping revisions, such as 30, 60, or 365 days, ensuring that your database retains only what’s necessary without losing the essential edit history of your posts.</p>
<p>In addition, our plugin enhances the admin dashboard with an analytics feature to generate visual representations of revision history data.</p>
<h3>Key Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Intelligent Age-Based Management</strong>: Preserve your site’s history by automatically deleting revisions past a certain age, keeping only the recent and relevant changes.</li>
<li><strong>Seamless On-Save Cleanup</strong>: The plugin intuitively removes outdated revisions upon saving posts, based on the age criteria you’ve set, without disrupting the creative process.</li>
<li><strong>Optional Automated Cleanup</strong>: Enable the optional CRON job to perform regular, site-wide revision cleanups at intervals you control, maintaining optimal database health with no manual effort.</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard Analytics</strong>: Visualize your site’s revision cleanup activity with an integrated chart, powered by Google’s Chart API.</li>
<li><strong>Fully Customizable</strong>: Configure the plugin’s settings to fit the unique demands of your site, including save timeout, CRON frequency, and the maximum number of revisions to process.</li>
</ul>
<p>By focusing on time rather than revision count, our plugin addresses the core flaw in the default system, ensuring that a busy day of editing won’t result in the loss of important historical data. With the optional CRON job for hands-free maintenance, adjustable settings for precision control, and insightful analytics, the Time-based Revision Cleanup plugin is an essential tool for maintaining a healthy, efficient WordPress site.</p>


Time-based Revision Cleanup


I installed the Time-Based Revision Cleanup plugin on my site and and it really is a nifty plugin. You can tell the developer knows what he's doing. Really love the chart visualization and the fact that it does the work of keeping my db clean and up-to-date. Thanks for the cool plugin!


Well-designed with the user in mind

Maximize WordPress efficiency with Time-based Revision Cleanup: manage post histories by age, not count, with optional auto-cleanups.

<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>
<ul>
<li>English</li>
<li>French</li>
<li>Deutsch – Thanks to <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/mallard66" title="mallard66" rel="nofollow ugc">mallard66</a></li>

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

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.
