   hey
   I am using FeedWordpress to read RSS Feeds.
   I have about 50 feeds on one site some update hourly others daily or weekly.

   I have the feedwordpress setting to update the original post because the content is date sensitive and can and does change.

   I have tried to turn revisions off with a plugin
   I have also tried to turn revisions off in wp-config

   No avail.. the revisions keep getting generated everytime the rss feeds are read and its insane.

   I have one site with 10k posts it had 200k revisions
   The database was 350MB before i got rid of the revisions and 20mb after

   I have asked a few people on irc ... they offered solutions i have already tried.

   I dont want to mess with the code because i want to be able to do updates.

   So... anyone know how to solve this?

   Imagine my thoughts seeing a 350MB db backup for 10k posts and you can imagine how thankful i will be....

   Until i find a solution i guess i will just scrub the DB of Revisions but that is a pretty lame solution heh

   thanks

   It is not the feedwordpress that is creating a revision on your db. It is the wordpress that creates a revision. Anytime there is a change to a post, a revision is created by default so that if the author wants to revert back to an older post, he can do that. that is the purpose of revision.

   I used to have revision as well but I have disabled it. Recently, I checked db for any revisions, it did not have any revision. So I believe revisions has been disabled.

   Best way to disable revision is through wordpress configuration. wp-config.php

   I do understand by what you say that you have tried disabling it at wp-config.php

   But it should work!! Does wordpress have active support like phpbb support? Or is that one thing what's missing in wordpress? an active support team?

   run your sql query on cron? That's my suggestion. Good luck!

   (the DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = "revision";)
