Database Optimization: Set a number of post revisions to keep

under review

John Sharkey

ManageWP allows me to set a number of post revisions to keep, so when I clean them out with the data optimisation, I don't wipe them all out. It would be great to see this option in WP Umbrella!

OH yes! That would be handy. Now I do not delete them at all because some clients really use them and are rather upset when they are missing. :P

Database optimization with revision backup

You can set that a certain number of revisions to a page are retained when optimizing the database.

Yes please! We don't want to lose all revision history, but we don't need to keep 100 either. Right now, I can't use the database optimization tool for post cleanup until this is an option. Thank you!

💯 this is a must have. Particularly for clients sites we manage

Valentin Grenier

Agreed, this is missing.

Christian Strasser

Very important, agree!

I agree completely. I have not used this feature up to now because it is missing. For me it would be very important. Deleting all revisions makes little sense for us and the feature is practically unusable.
