Clearing/deleting revisions?

here is list of useful wp-config trick

scroll half way down, u will see how to adjust the revision.

you need to do it via wp-config

by defining the WP_POST_REVISIONS to false or how many revision u want

[Redacted]

@siteber, In future please just write the suggestion here and not link people to your blog.

The suggestion was:

3. Number of Revision

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', FALSE);
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 10);

You can enable revision or disable revision as you please; as well as how many revision you want WordPress to record. To turn off the revision, you can set the Value to FALSE.

Okay thanks siteber and Andrew.

Andrew – where did that screenshot come from? Is there a tutorial list somwhere? (other than the Codex thing).

Thanks again.

Not sure what bit you need help with.

Well, all of it really. It took five minutes to do the install but it’s taken about five weeks (and counting) to figure out how to do everything else (limit the &^%&*!# spam and hackers, organize the media library ((lost cause)), figure out which plugins are necessary, tweak the theme, etc., etc., . . . ). And those are only the questions I know to ask. Almost every day brings up a new question.

I saw the screenshot and it looked like a plain-English type of tutorial that would be very helpful. Most of the answers to my many questions have come from lots and lots of searching various blogs (and the WP forums of course). Yes, most of the answers are there, but it’s taking a huge bite of time to find them.

WP is a great platform and I knew there would be a learning curve, but didn’t think it would be quite so time consuming.

That screenshot you saw was just a pretty picture made to entice you to read on further in the Webpage. Everything in the Webpage was irrelivant apart from the information I’ve posted above, that @siteber recommended to “scroll half way down”.

Note: If someone posts it again I will redact it and treat it as advertisement.

FWIW – I can’t find what he’s referring to in the WP-config folder (or any other folder for that matter), so I am (once again) back to square one and will have to live with the scores of revisions.

I do appreciate your time though. ??

It took a while but I found that I actually need to add the “define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 3);” to the WP-config folder. I thought it was already there and I just needed to change the number to what I wanted. No wonder I couldn’t find it. I haven’t tried it yet but at least in headed in the right direction.

wp-config.php is a file not a folder.
