postrevisions2

WordPress has introduced a feature in its versions after 2.6 , POST REVISIONS. which saves article just like WIKI.You can instantly compare different versions of post and revert back to old versions. WordPress stores each versions of post revision in WordPress Database wp-posts over time, the database may grows bigger and becomes bloated.

It is a very useful feature as i said, but if you are on a limited account, your database limit can soon end up with this, specially if you have alot of revisions.

Here is a simple hack which will disable this post revision feature.

Open your root directory with any ftp software.

Download wp-config.php file from your root directory of WordPres.

Open it with editor of your choice  like notepad.

Add this line in wp-config.php file immediately after <?php tag

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);
Save this file, Reupload this file , replacing old one.
And its done
Enjoy
Many users ask , if this has any effect on autosaving feature. But this only adresses Post Revisions. So you still will be able to enjoy autosaving.
Hope It works.
