Overview
Easily control and limit post revisions per post type to keep your WordPress database clean and optimized—no coding required!
Simple Revision Control is a WordPress plugin that provides an easy way to manage and limit the number of post revisions stored for each post type on your site.

You can also enable or disable revision support per post type and delete unwanted revisions directly from the plugin’s settings.

Untracably Deletes Pages
by petetheprogrammer·3 years ago
Unfortunately the worst case happened: After setting a limit of 25 revisions for pages and purging all pages, many pages (10+) have randomly and untraceably disappeared. Panic ensued and only our backups could save the website and all the work.
To bugfix, we set up a staging site with the last working backup, used this plugin again as before – and again the same pages just vanished without trace.
I know it takes a lot of time and efford to write and maintain a plugin. And had it worked as intended, it would be a great help. But randomly deleting pages is an uncontrollable danger for any user.

The plugin deleted images that were used in posts. Made me lose a lot of time.
DB broken！ 最悪です

メディアライブラリーのリンクなど思いもよらないDatabaseも削除してしまいます。被害を受けました。バックアップから復旧していますが、使用を禁止する方が良いと思います。
