WordPress revision limits per post type, weekly prune, and one-click old-revision cleanup

Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/azanumer/wp-revision-manager/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

WordPress revisions bloat wp_posts fast. This plugin keeps them under control without editing wp-config.php:

Per-post-type limits — e.g. keep 10 revisions for posts, 25 for pages (0 = WordPress default).
Enforced at save time — when a new revision is created, older ones beyond the limit are deleted.
Weekly prune — a WP-Cron job prunes every post to its limit once a week (toggleable).
One-click cleanup — Tools → Revision Manager shows the total revision count and prunes old revisions immediately, with a confirm dialog.

Autosaves are never deleted. Filter wrm_revision_limit to override a type's limit in code.
