One frequently overlooked feature of WordPress is the automatic storage of all changes made to pages and posts, referred to as revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress revisions feature is useful for updating and revising existing posts, since it allows you to see what changes were made previously and tracks all of the changes made during the update. If a mistake is made during the update process, reverting the page is as easy as a few mouse clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is particularly helpful if your website has many users that can edit pages and posts since it gives you a way to keep track of the various changes being made. Unfortunately, it can be inefficient to store old revisions, especially if you have a lot of posts and\/or pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that there are free plugins to manage WordPress revisions. The plugins mentioned in this article are great for helping you manage page and post revisions as well as purge revisions or remove revisions across pages and posts in bulk.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/limit-or-disable-wordpress-revisions\/\">limit or disable WordPress revisions<\/a> within the code of your website if you\u2019re a skilled WordPress user. Though, using a plugin is the easiest route for managing your page and post revisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading to learn more about plugins we recommend for page and post revisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#revisions\">Plugins For Managing WordPress Revisions<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#WP-Revisions-Control\">WP Revisions Control<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#WP-Optimize\">WP-Optimize<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Simple-Revisions-Delete\">Simple Revisions Delete<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#WP-Sweep\">WP-Sweep<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#duplicate\">Plugins for Managing Duplicate Posts and Pages<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#duplicatepost\">Duplicate Post<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#duplicatepage\">Duplicate Page<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#comparison\">Comparison\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"revisions\">Plugins for Managing WordPress Revisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"WP-Revisions-Control\"><strong>WP Revisions Control<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsControl-1024x217.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsControl-1024x217.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsControl-300x64.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsControl-768x163.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsControl.png 1492w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-revisions-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP Revisions Control<\/a> is a lightweight plugin that allows you to control how many revisions are stored per post type. This is helpful as the default WordPress revision setting, when enabled, is applied to all posts and pages. However, with the plugin, you can limit stored revisions for individual posts \u2014 which can be applied to posts that don\u2019t require constant, major updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After installing and activating the plugin, a simple setting option is added to the <strong>Settings &gt; Writing<\/strong> section of your WordPress dashboard. Once on the page, scroll down to <em>WP Revisions Control <\/em>to set custom settings for posts, pages, custom CSS, and other posts types.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Of note, because I have <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/google-web-stories-for-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Stories <\/a>installed on my test site, WP Revisions Control also allows me to add limitations to those posts as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set revision storage limits for an individual post, you will need to navigate to the edit screen of a particular post and scroll down to the bottom. There you will see the option to limit the post revisions or even purge all of the revisions for that particular post. However, you will only see the option once the post has been revised at least once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the plugin will allow you to purge pages and posts in bulk if needed. You can do this easily by navigating to<strong> Posts &gt; All Posts<\/strong> or <strong>Pages &gt; All Pages<\/strong>, then selecting <strong>Bulk actions<\/strong> and choosing between <strong>Purge excess revisions <\/strong>or <strong>Purge ALL revisions<\/strong>. However, be careful with bulk purging if you rely on the revisions as a fail-safe for update mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.3, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallRevsControl.png\" alt=\"install WP revisions control plugin\" class=\"wp-image-58754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallRevsControl.png 656w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallRevsControl-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge-1024x514.png\" alt=\"bulk purge revisions with wp revisions control\" class=\"wp-image-58755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge-1536x770.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsBulkPurge.png 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost-1024x553.png\" alt=\"purge revisions for individual post with wp revisions control\" class=\"wp-image-58756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost-1536x830.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsPost.png 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsSettings-1024x478.png\" alt=\"Settings for wp revisions control plugin\" class=\"wp-image-58757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsSettings-1024x478.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsSettings-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsSettings-768x359.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPRevsSettings.png 1347w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"WP-Optimize\"><strong>WP-Optimize<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WP-optimize-1024x451.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WP-optimize-1024x451.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WP-optimize-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WP-optimize-768x338.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WP-optimize.png 1464w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-optimize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP-Optimize<\/a> is a robust, all-in-one plugin that does so much more than simply manage your page and post revisions. The plugin, which also has a paid version, optimizes your website\u2019s performance by cleaning your database, compressing your images, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/server\/server-usage\/understanding-caching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">caching your site<\/a>. However, for this article, we\u2019re just going to focus on managing revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve installed and activated WP-Optimize, you\u2019ll notice a navigation menu for the plugin has been added to your left-hand WordPress navigation. Clicking on <strong>WP-Optimize<\/strong> will take you to the plugin dashboard and you\u2019ll be greeted with getting started instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under <strong>WP-Optimize &gt; Database &gt; Optimizations<\/strong>, you can bulk purge all post revisions along with many other options like cleaning auto-draft posts and removing spam comments. You can also schedule daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly revisions clean-ups under\u00a0 <strong>WP-Optimize &gt; Database &gt; Settings<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plugin is great for adding full performance optimization to your website, in addition to high-level post revision management.

While on <strong>All Posts <\/strong>or <strong>All Pages<\/strong>, you can bulk purge revisions by clicking <strong>Bulk actions &gt; Purge revisions<\/strong>. To purge revisions on an individual post or page, navigate to the edit screen, then click <strong>Purge <\/strong>next to <em>Revisions<\/em> under<em> Status &amp; visibility<\/em> in the right-hand menu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plugin is perfect if you only need to purge revisions instead of also limiting them. However, as mentioned above, be careful when purging all revisions if they are your only fail-safe for editing mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 1.5, was tested up to WordPress 5.3.4 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"641\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallSimpleRevDel.png\" alt=\"Install simple revisions delete\" class=\"wp-image-58766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallSimpleRevDel.png 641w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/InstallSimpleRevDel-300x274.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk-1024x516.png\" alt=\"bulk purge all posts screen\" class=\"wp-image-58767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk-1024x516.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk-1536x773.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelBulk.png 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost-1024x553.png\" alt=\"purge individual post using simple revisions delete\" class=\"wp-image-58768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost-1536x830.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SimRevDelPost.png 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"WP-Sweep\"><strong>WP-Sweep<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPSweep-1024x462.png\" alt=\"WP sweep wordpres plugin\" class=\"wp-image-58770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPSweep-1024x462.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPSweep-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPSweep-768x347.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/WPSweep.png 1457w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-sweep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP-Sweep<\/a>, similar to <strong>WP-Optimize<\/strong>, manages more than just your revisions.

You can also preset a prefix or suffix, allowing you to add <em>copy of <\/em>before or after the duplicate post for better organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have multiple people assisting with the maintenance of your website, you can set permissions for creating duplicate content \u2014 allowing only certain users to copy a post, page, product, etc. You can also enable the display of the original content in the duplicate, giving the user a guide for adding the new content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">At the time of this review, this plugin, version 3.2.4, was tested up to WordPress 5.4.2 and is updated every 1-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/downloadDuplicatePosts.png\" alt=\"downloaded duplicate posts plugin\" class=\"wp-image-56779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/downloadDuplicatePosts.png 669w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/downloadDuplicatePosts-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw -

It honestly comes down to your needs. Both plugins help optimize your workflow. However, to assist your decision making, here is how they stack up against each other:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duplicate Post<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duplicate content from the content list screen ( e.g. All Posts), with the added bulk action option, or through the editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clone posts, pages, blocks, products, orders, and coupons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access plugin settings through the added option under Settings&gt;Duplicate Post.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User interface is very similar to default WordPress styling.
