The No Revisions WordPress Plugin
[09-Jun-09 - Checked against 2.7.1. After an upgrade, you need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin to turn off revisions again.]
While the WordPress 2.6 upgrade has not gone smoothly for a lot of people, one new feature that has yet to bite too many people is post revisions. Whenever you save a change in a post in WordPress 2.6, it saves a copy of the old version as well as your changed version. If you hit ’save’ a lot while writing, that can add up to a lot of extra crud in your database.
Now, these can be turned off by editing your wp-config.php file, but that’s a bit gross for a system like WordPress where everything else can be done through a nice web interface. Better solution: the No Revision plugin.
Just install and activate this plugin and no more revision debris in your database. Of course, that also means no safety net if you accidentally screw up a post and then save it, but that was the case until 2.6 anyway.
I hope this proves useful. Let me know if you use it, like it, hate it, break it, have a suggestion for it, etc.

Seem the revision machine is at it again as of 2.7. Just was writing a page and found that the autosave created a revision. Sigh. When will they ever learn?

This isn’t working for me on version 2.7.1 I upgraded to that version and then installed your plugin. After doing so, I found that autosaves were still occurring.
Could you give me a hint if this would work on Wordpress MU 2.6.5?
A quick glance at the the wpmu code shows the same hook being used to generate revision (which this plugin deactivates), so I’ll say ‘maybe.’ I don’t immediately see any reason why not, but (a) I haven’t spent nearly as much time in the wpmu code as the regular wp code and (b) people are still occasionally reporting installs where this plugin fails.
Please let us know if it works.
no working for me as of yet. But im working on it. its got to be with the upgrade.
Or you could add
define(’WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);
to your wp-config.php, and reduce the overhead, and probability of bugs.
Well, the plugin is only 1 line of actual PHP and it is just a call to remove_action, I feel pretty good about there not being bugs. That said, yes, editing your wp_config.php works as well. Some people would rather have a plugin than edit that file.
