While this can seem like a great thing to have, over time it can lead to a lot of unessary overhead in your WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance let\u2019s say that you\u2019ve previewed a post that you\u2019ve been working on 7 or so times, each of those revisions you might have just changed around a word or two, or made some very minimal changes. However in the WordPress database you would now have 8 copies of your original post, the 1 main one and 7 revisions storing the full content of that past revision and not just the changes made since the last one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#limit\">Limit WordPress Revisions<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#disable\">Disable WordPress Revisions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><div class=\"yt-S109lotVRhI\">\n\t<a class=\"play-video-S109lotVRhI\" style=\"position: relative; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; cursor: pointer;\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/S109lotVRhI\/maxresdefault.webp\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"How to Limit or Disable WordPress Revisions\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\">\n\t\t<span class=\"fa fa-imh-play-circle imh-ds-icon play-circle\" style=\"position: absolute; display:block; font-size:150px; color: #c52228; opacity:0;\"><\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limit\">Limit WordPress Revisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the steps below I\u2019ll show you how you can limit the number of revisions that WordPress will store per page or post. By default there is no limit on the amount of revisions so any limit you impose is going to help keep your WordPress database more efficient. We\u2019ll be using the\u00a0<strong>WP_POST_REVISIONS<\/strong> setting in our\u00a0<strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file to accomplish this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example we\u2019re going to set our max amount of revisions per page or post to 3. So in total there will be 4 entries in the database per page or post, 1 for the original itself, and then the 3 latest revisions. In this case I simply started a new post with the title\u00a0<strong>Test<\/strong> and then in the content of the post I simply entered in\u00a0<strong>Test #1<\/strong> and then previewed the page, then I entered\u00a0<strong>Test #2<\/strong> and previewed the page again up until I got to\u00a0<strong>Test #7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-log-into-cpanel\/\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Login to your cPanel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access the <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/file-manager-code-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cPanel File Manager Code Editor<\/a>\u00a0and navigate to your <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter in the following code towards the top of the <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong>\u00a0file:<pre>define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);<\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that click on Save Changes<span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"> at the top-right.<\/span> <p>Below is a screen shot of the WordPress database showing the difference between the default <strong>WP_POST_REVISIONS<\/strong> settings, and the ones we just set.<span style=\"color: initial;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"917\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/website_wordpress_wordpress-revisions_wordpress-database-showing-wp-post-revisions-difference.png\" alt=\"WordPress Database Showing wp_post_revisions difference\" class=\"wp-image-5868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/website_wordpress_wordpress-revisions_wordpress-database-showing-wp-post-revisions-difference.png 917w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/website_wordpress_wordpress-revisions_wordpress-database-showing-wp-post-revisions-difference-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/website_wordpress_wordpress-revisions_wordpress-database-showing-wp-post-revisions-difference-768x391.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disable\">Disable WordPress Revisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the steps below I\u2019ll show you how to completly turn off WordPress revisions for your pages and posts.
