Frequently asked questions

What does Simple Revisions Delete do?

Simple Revisions Delete adds a discreet link within a post submit box to let you purge (delete) its revisions via AJAX. It helps you keep a clean database by removing unnecessary posts revisions. Unlike other similar plugins, it lets you delete only specific posts revisions, not all your site revisions at once.

How does Simple Revisions Delete work?

The plugin adds a discreet link in the post submit box, next to the default revisions counter. When you click on it, it will purge the appropriate post revisions via AJAX. It also adds a new bulk action option in the post/page row view to let you purge revisions of multiple posts at once.

Is Simple Revisions Delete compatible with Gutenberg?

Since v2, you can purge all your posts revisions from within the Gutenberg editor, though this feature is experimental. The plugin uses jQuery and AJAX as a workaround for Gutenberg integration. It is also compatible with the classic editor.

Can I delete individual revisions?

Yes, since v1.3, you can delete a single revision at once. The plugin also allows purging all revisions for a post or using bulk actions for multiple posts.

Does this plugin have an admin page?

No, there is no admin page for this plugin as none is needed. The functionality is integrated directly into the WordPress back-end.
