<p>Sometimes you have a certain widget configuration that you need to use over-and-over again.<br />
Widget Favorites provides a way to save a widget instance by name to identify it later<br />
when loading the favorited widget instance into another widget.</p>
<p>Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets.</p>
<p>Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer.</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>
