# Feature request – Delete post revisions

 * You have ‘delete all post revisions’ as part of scheduled maintenance, once a
   week. However, I have to keep that off as we are often working on several posts
   at a time, some of which might take more than a week to complete, and the scheduler
   might run the clean up right when we may need revisions the most.
 * Can you possibly offer a ‘delete all revisions’ on demand feature? Or even a 
   run all tasks on demand option?
 * With that said, I usually just ask my partner if she has finished all posts at
   which point I check the box and let it run. This raises the question; when exactly
   will it run? As from the time the box is check, and the same time every week 
   until it is unchecked? I just have to remember to uncheck it when we start writing
   posts again.

 * Hello [@sean-h](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sean-h/),
 * At this point, we have decided that a manual option to initiate the database 
   optimization would not be implemented. This could certainly change in the future
   depending on the demand.
 * By default, the database maintenance is executed through a cron event scheduled
   to be performed every week. It will run exactly 7 days after you check the box
   in the “Scheduled Database Maintenance” section and then at the same time every
   week.
 * If you prefer to have control over the execution this can be easily done through
   [WP-CLI](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/wp-cli/).
 * The scheduled cron events can be listed using the following command:
 * **wp cron event list**
 * To execute the task on demand you can use this command which will run the database
   optimization immediately:
 * **wp cron event run siteground_optimizer_database_optimization_cron**
 * Regards,
   Dimo

 * Hi [@dimodi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimodi/),
 * Many SG customers have requested the same feature, [including us (see Item 12.)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-needs-to-improve/)
 * It is quite sad that we keep getting the same answer from SG Support with no 
   SG website available to submit our feature requests nor view the vote count.
 * Other plugins and themes offer this. Examples:
 * [https://feedback.hive.com/](https://feedback.hive.com/)
   [https://perfmatters.io/docs/feature-requests/](https://perfmatters.io/docs/feature-requests/)
   [https://woocommerce.com/document/feature-request-portal/](https://woocommerce.com/document/feature-request-portal/)
 * As SG Optimizer starts falling behind other Performance plugins, we’re starting
   to disable your plugin’s features and migrating to others.
 * In this case, we have disabled SGO’s database maintenance feature and started
   using Perfmatters’, which [offers a slew of database maintenance options](https://prnt.sc/zFQItB4E2unO).
 * In short, with all due respect, action appreciated. [All of our requests are falling into a “black hole.”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-features-whats-going-on/)
 * Thank you 🙂
