Your shortcode calls wp_list_post_revisions() which echo the output (revision list), hence you get the “updating error”. To fix the issue, you can use output buffering like so: ob_start(); wp_list_post_revisions( get_the_ID() ); $revisions = ob_get_clean(); Or you could use wp_get_post_revisions() and build the HTML list manually. Here’s an example based on the wp_list_post_revisions(): $output=””; if ( … Read more
Set custom autosave interval Just define it in your wp-config.php file // Allow revisions define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, true); // Set number of ms define( ‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’, 300 ); Note that this means that you’ll get a lot of queries and post revisions. Therefore you should also add a max. number of revisions to not fill your posts … Read more
You should set WP_POST_REVISIONS to a fixed number. If you don’t, WordPress will keep an unlimited number of revisions. See function wp_revisions_to_keep(): function wp_revisions_to_keep( $post ) { $num = WP_POST_REVISIONS; if ( true === $num ) $num = -1; else $num = intval( $num ); if ( ! post_type_supports( $post->post_type, ‘revisions’ ) ) $num = … Read more
Probably is a way with an SQL query. But another solution is to use Search RegEx, which is a good plugin to be able to search and replace with grep and regular expressions through all posts and pages. And I’d delete all your revisions to make sure the links aren’t hidden in old revisions that … Read more
Since the check is made in wp_revisions_to_keep($post) in wp-includes/revision.php, and the result is run through a filter, you should be able to do something like this: <?php function wpse_289553($num, $post) { if(in_array($post->ID, array(123, 456, 789))) { return -1; } return $num; } add_filter(“wp_revisions_to_keep”, “wpse_289553”, 10, 2); Set your post IDs in that array and adjust … Read more
Revisions to me are useless and just fills up your db. It might be useful to others though. Revisions are created each time a post is revised/updated. This just holds an archive/copy of the post before it was updated, and gives the user an option to restore the specific post to an earlier time. This … Read more
IF you want, you can disable revisions in first place (No need to run CRON then) To disable them go to wp-config.php and add this line: define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false ); Or to limit to 10 revisions define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 10); And to delete all current revisions you can run this SQL query: DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = … Read more
It is probably better to upgrade the old installation to a current wp version and reapply the changes. Unless it is a very big site you are probably going to waste more time in researching , coding and debugging an automatic solution then what it will take you to manually edit the posts.
