    Disable Revisions and Autosave plugins

    25th July 2008

    Edit Dec. 19, 2008 - The plugins are WordPress 2.7 compatible.


    I’ve already reported about WordPress revisions and autosave problem yesterday.

    I was thinking about a quite different solution and the I found that it’s really trivial to prepare three WordPress plugins that can disable Revisions, Autosave or both of them at the same time.

    disable-autosave.zip (Right Click - Save As) - Disable Autosave function
    disable-revisions.zip (Right Click - Save As) - Disable Revisions function
    disable-revisions-and-autosave.zip (Right Click - Save As) - Disable Revisions and Autosave at the same time.

    Using a plugin is far faster and easier than editing the wp-config file; plus everyone can Activate or Deactive them whenever is needed.
    I’ve got very limited time to test them, but I’m actually using the “disable-revisions-and-autosave” on this blog and as far as I can say it works flawlessly.
    Every comment or hint is very welcome!

    The disabling Autosave plugin was already online yesterday, but I’ve slightly modify it to report the original code author.


    EDIT 11 Sept. 2008
    Some comments are not visible (removed) due to DB problems.
    During the last weeks an hacking attempt led against the ISP on which Exper Chaotic Flow is currently running forced me to switch to a temporary server which trashed the last automatic DB recovers.
    I’ll updated this post’s comments by hand as soon as I’ll have some spare time; some of the vanished ones are still there on my local backup.
    Sorry for the setback.

    7. Hikoto Says:

      Hey thanks for the plugin! It actually stopped my post IDs from jumping exponentially, something the other “disable-post-revisions” plugins didn’t do. (: ^^

    8. Exper Says:

      Glad you liked it Hikoto.
      I’ve used it during the last days and yes… it works.

      What other plugins did you found?
      Maybe I’ve got to put it also on the WP plugins repository.

    9. Hikoto Says:

      Yeah I think you absolutely should! That way, we could update our plugin via the dashboard once a new version is available (if there is one!)

      The other fixes I tried were the “insert 2 lines into your wp-config file” and this plugin. Both really didn’t manage to disable autosave that’s why I think the IDs were still jumping.

      I don’t use “pretty permalinks” that’s why I’m so concerned about the IDs. It’s a just a little naggy preference of mine.

      You’re welcome Ben.
      That’s for sure. Up to now I’ve got some headaches after updating to 2.5 and then 2.6 but, as far I can see, WP still seems the best solution; to me, at least.
      The
      Dev team don’t seems intentioned in putting Revisions and Autosave options in the Admin panel, so… what can I say?
      We’ll use the plugin solution. Better than nothing!

      Is it possible to keep the Autosave-function itself alive, just without creating new post ids for the autosave?

      Thanks a lot to everyone, glad it was useful.

      @Andy: WordPress 2.6.x changed the Autosave function; it always creates e new revision now.
      The old 2.5.x function could be implemented back via plugin, as far as I can imagine, but I didn’t tried it and I’ve actually got to much limited spare time to test it. Who knows… maybe soon or later.

      Hi Marcelo,
      sorry for the long delay.

      You can can delete all the old revisions this way
      1: Log into your phpMyAdmin panel
      2: Backup the whole DB
      3: Click on the SQL -> SQL query
      4: Copy, paste and run the code in “Run SQL query”
      DELETE a,b,c FROM wp_posts a LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID=b.object_id) LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID=c.post_id) WHERE a.post_type='revision';

      Note: you have to change the table prefix “wp” to the one you’re really using.
