FAQ
-
Is it safe to delete revisions?
-
Yes. Revisions are copies of previous versions of your posts. Deleting them does not affect the current published content. However, you will lose the ability to restore previous versions of those posts.
-
Can I undo a deletion?
-
No. Once revisions are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Make sure to back up your database before performing bulk deletions.
-
What does “Optimize database table” do?
-
After deleting many rows from the database, the freed space is not automatically reclaimed. The optimization option runs an
OPTIMIZE TABLEcommand to reclaim that space and improve database performance. -
Does this plugin work with custom post types?
-
Yes. The plugin detects all post types that have revisions and displays them in the list.
