Thin Out Revisions

Descripción

Abstract

As its default behavior, WordPress makes a new revision when you update your post.
This also happens when you do a preview before publication.
This is too often even if you like revision control. Thin Out Revisions (TOR), a plugin
for WordPress, will help you to keep unwanted revisions out.

Basic Feature

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).
And you can also remove each single revision from the Edit Post/Page screen (fig. 2).

WordPress 3.5 and prior, which have an old revision screen, are no longer supported.

When you publish a post

If you are a careful author, I guess you have many revisions as a result of preview checks.
TOR can clean them when you first publish your post.
Just simply enable the following option in the ‘Settings’ – ‘Thin Out Revisions’ admin page (fig. 3).

  • Delete revisions on initial publication

Bulk erase of old revisions

You can remove old revisions on the fly or daily as a scheduled task (fig. 3).

Revision Memo

The Revision Memo feature enables you to put a short text note on revisions. See the pictures (fig. 4, 5) in screenshots page.
Make sure that you check the ‘Revision Memo’ screen option in Edit Post (Edit Page) screen.

More to Describe

  • TOR works fine in multisite environment.

Instalación

You can install Thin Out Revisions in a standard manner.

  1. Go to Plugins – Add New page of your WordPress and install Thin Out Revisions plugin.
  2. Or unzip thin-out-revisions.*.zip to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. The asterisk is a version number.

Don’t forget to activate the plugin before use it.

FAQ

I got a warning to save the post without modification. What does it mean?

From WordPress 3.6, proper posts have a copy revision of the current post.
Without a copy revision, updating a post results in loss of current content.
So when TOR find a post without copy revision, it will warn you to create a copy.

I pressed the ‘Remove NOW’ button. But it seemed it’s not working.

This plugin is using wp_cron even if you press the ‘Remove NOW’ button. When you press it, the plugin just schedule a task to delete revisions as an immediate wp_cron task. And it will take a while until the task is completed.

So please wait a while after you press the button.

Where is revision.php?

You can go to revision.php by choosing a revision on ‘Edit Post’ or ‘Edit Page’ screen.
If you can’t see any revisions on the screen, check the ‘Revisions’ option in Screen Options at top-right of the page.
If you can’t see the ‘Revisions’ option in the menu, I guess you still don’t have any revisions. So edit the post (page) and save it first.

TOR doesn’t remove revisions on publication.

‘Delete revisions on initial publication’ feature is effective only when you first publish the post from ‘draft’ status.
It has no effects if you had once published the post and changed it to ‘draft’ status later.
Also no effects on auto-saved revisions.

Where is text input form for Revision Memo?

It will appear in ‘Edit Post’ (‘Edit Page’) screen. Make sure that you check the ‘Revision Memo’ screen option in the page.

Why did some options disappear in TOR 1.3

In version 3.6, WordPress has improved its revision management feature.
As a result, WordPress 3.6 stops creating unnecessary revisions during quick editing and bulk editing.
So some options became needless.

Reseñas

27 de Abril de 2017
To begin with: I love Thin Out Revisions, and it has been a pleasure to use for a number of years. When WP 4.4 came, however, I noticed that the revision purge on initial publication did not work any longer. I just now tested Thin Out Revisions under WP 4.7.4, and unfortunately not only does the revision purge on initial publication no longer work, but it turns out, neither does the manual purge. The only functionality which still does work under WP 4.7 is the Revision Memos. I understand that, technically, this does not warrant a one-star-rating, since Thin Out Revisions is advertised as being compatible up to WP 4.2 only, which it is. Given the fact, though, that there no longer is any way in the Plugin Repository to indicate whether or not a plugin is working under a given WP version, at the moment I see this as the only way to let others know about compatibility issues.
