Simple Revisions Delete

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I have been using this plugin for years on several sites. A real must have! Simple and works out of the box 🙂 Recently it is also working with Avada theme, great!Thank you!PS One small feature request: if possible could you add a check when clicking the purge all link? Like a pop-up that asks Are you sure? 🙂

   But a column doesn’t show up in the Posts listing as shown in the screenshot. Purging all revisions of all posts (as with WP-Optimize) is not a clever idea, but it would be good to trimmed down certain posts to just 1 revision WITHOUT pulling up each post to delete individually. i.e. List view with check box > execute.Still looking for a plugin that will do this.

   Installed and activated on WordPress 6.2.2, opened a page in the block editor and clicked Purge. Done. A really clean implementation of this feature. Very nice work @brikou! When you get a chance, give it a test run yourself in WordPress 6.3 and update the Tested up to header. This shouldn’t be missed out on because of a “Has not been tested with your version of WordPress” message!

   Totally recommended. THIS PLUGIN is AMAZING. I spent several hours online solving the error 500 that time to time Elementor does, even with hosting technicians. We couldn’t find. Till we came across a bulk of revision of the same post, we searched for a revision delete plugin, we found this plugin and LOVE IT.

   I discovered this plugin a while ago and started installing it to every site I make. It is very helpful to get your revisions organized. Two notes: It does not work on some custom post types. That can be improved. It has not been updated for sometime. I hope it does not disappear.
