Elementor Revisions

    Using Elementor 2.7.1 and WP 5.2.3 – managing revisions and deleting very old versions has always been a pain in Elementor as you can only delete one revision at a time. Up until recently (and it may have been the latest update of Elementor or WP) at least if I scrolled to find the oldest revision available and deleted it, similarly dated revisions were still in the list to delete one at a time. Now, if I do this and delete the oldest revison I can, the list scrolls back to the current situation meaning that I have to rescroll to find old versions again. An operational pain has become even more of a pain. Can the revisions area be re-designed to allow multi deletes such as “Delete all before xx/xx/xx etc” or something similar to make this aspect easier please? If revisons are not managed by deleting old versions then the page limit is soon reached causing Internal Server 500 errors so this is a constant neccesity. Thanks for somebody’s attention……..

  • The same rules that apply to WordPress native revisions apply on Elementor revisions as well ( both being the same thing), which means you can limit the max number of revisions via your wp-config.php file:

    define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3 );

    So just limit the number of them to begin with, and that problem will solve itself.

    Okay, thanks for your response, I’ll look into this to prevent the problems I’m having. Just one question: If I limit the number of revisions in this way, will it be self regulating? ie, once the max number is reached, will it add other revisions and delete the longest resident?

    Thanks……………

    Yes, that is how the WordPress revisions limit works.
