Deleting Old Revisions

  • Unknown's avatar

    If it is such a good idea to delete old revisions, why don’t WORDPRESS make this option easier for their users?

    I’m not computer savvy like I would like to be, and having A.D.H.D makes reading instructions hard/er for me than others. Technical jargon might as well be written in sanskrit.

    Number 1: why doesn’t WORDPRESS make it easier for their users to delete old revisions?

    Number 2: is there an easy why of doing this? I’m actually losing my patience and temper trying to find a solution to this.

    With thanks.

  • Hi there – Why do you want to delete old revisions? We store them for you so that you can go back to them in case there’s something in an earlier version that you’d like:

    This is just a convenience in case you need it, but if you don’t, you can just ignore them.

    You can stop the list from being displayed on the Post Edit page

    Screen Options >> Uncheck the box “Revisions” – they will not be deleted but you don’t see them at the bottom of the Edit Page –

    The revisions can’t be deleted but they don’t count against your disk storage space

  • Ah yes, good point @captnmike! You can just hide them from your Dashboard. :)
