Scrap your post revision with SQL shredder!

phpmyadmin_logoIntroduction:
On Halloween day, I was bored as hell! I am too old for these “Trick ‘N’ Treat” sort of things.
But, I did have a good time writing my own article and give the other children and the others candies, chocolate and sweets. So, what about my readers? Don’t worry! Here is a mini – tutorial for you to learn and enjoy.

This tutorial is about controlling your “WP – post revision” with a little help from “phpMyAdmin – Query and by editing your wp-config.php file.” However, please be careful when you’re modifying your “wp-config.php” file.

Notes: The “config” file is the hearth of your WordPress database. So, in my own judgment, just make a backup of your “wp-config.php” file.
It’s not that hard – for crying out loud…

1.] Login to your Cpanel and navigate to your blog’s directory. After that, you’ll need to edit your ‘wp-config.php’ file and add these lines into the top of your file.

define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 6); //Defines a maximum of 6 different revisions per post.
define ('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 3600); // Auto-saves on 1 hour interval.

2.] Save your changes and exit your ‘config’ file.

3.] In your Cpanel directory [Home], please scroll down and look for “phpMyAdmin” and select it.

4.] Wait for the control panel to load its settings and click on your “SQL” icon.

Facts: this icon is called: SQL query command. It is located on the top – left – corner, which is next to a little house icon (Home).

5.] Copy this code and paste the following code into the “SQL command” window.

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = "revision";

6.] Execute the script and let it erase all of your previous “post – revision”.

7.] You’re Done!

Alternative for “WP – AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL”.

- There is another way to change your “WordPress autosave interval.”
But, you’ll need to look for this file: “wp-settings.php” and edit these parts which is shown below.

Notes: The actual lines is around 522 – 528. Just scroll down or search for the lines with this phrase: “AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL.”

/**
 * It is possible to define this in wp-config.php
 * @since 2.5.0
 */
if ( !defined( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL' ) )
	define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 60 );

— Times —
60 sec = 1 minutes
1800 sec = 30 minutes
1980 sec = 33 minutes
3000 sec = 50 minutes
3600 sec = 60 minutes
