Is there an easy way to delete all revision history on a WordPress site? I’m thinking clients don’t need to see all the iterations I’ve gone through and it might keep the database tidy. I’d rather not muck around in the database unless it’s super simple.

 

Thanks,

I know you can drop this in wp-config after you clean things up to prevent revision buildup later:

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS',X);

X being FLASE to disable or a number limit.

Thanks,
Nick

the plugin Bulk Delete seems to be popular, up to date, and supported. you could try that for deleting your old revisions. i have not used it myself though, it would be best if you could try it first on a dev site to see how it works for you.

here's the revisions codex page for more on revisions including the wp-config method nick mentioned.

good luck!

Thanks much, it worked great! I’ll have to remember to limit the revisions when I start a site from now on.
