WordPress revision control

August 11th, 2010 | WordPress Comments Off

In an earlier post, I discussed the handy revision control plugin. Plugins are awesome and I truly have immense respect for plugin developers, but I do find them a bit tedious to maintain and sometimes a bit of an overkill.

I am constantly fiddling and updating over 30+ client sites at a time. If WordPress and plugin updates didn’t come out as frequently, I would be more than happy to load my sites with dozens of plugins, but I do find simpler non-plugin methods more handy.

I recently discovered that post revisions can be disabled or limited simply by adding the following bit of code to the wp_config.php file.

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS','5'); //Will limit revision to 5 revisions

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS','false'); //Disables revisions totally

Personally, I think that one line of code is better than a plugin.
