Beskrivelse
Takahiro Revision Cleanup helps site administrators review how many post revisions are stored in the database and remove them safely. It is a modern, secure replacement for abandoned plugins such as Better Delete Revision.
Features
- Overview of total revision count and estimated content size
- Paginated revision list (preview before delete)
- Breakdown by parent post type (posts, pages, custom post types, orphaned revisions)
- Delete all revisions or delete revisions for a single post type
- One-click continuous deletion with a live progress bar for large revision sets (falls back to standard form submits when JavaScript is unavailable)
- Lifetime counter of revisions removed
- Confirmation dialog before destructive actions
- CHECK TABLE and OPTIMIZE TABLE for
wp_postsandwp_postmeta(safer than optimizing the entire database) - Uses native
wp_delete_post_revision()so post meta and term relationships are cleaned correctly - NextGEN Gallery compatibility during batch deletes
- Security hardened for WordPress.org review: nonces, capability checks, prepared SQL, escaped output, per-user form tokens, rate limiting on destructive actions, strict DB table allowlist, batch size caps, and audit hooks
Why this plugin
Unlike older revision cleanup tools, this plugin focuses on a modern admin experience, granular deletion by post type, clear feedback after deletion, and WordPress coding standards compliance.

FAQ
-
Will this delete my published posts?
-
No. Only posts with the
revisionpost type are removed. Published content is not affected. -
How is this different from Better Delete Revision?
-
Better Delete Revision was closed on WordPress.org in 2022 due to security issues. Takahiro Revision Cleanup provides the same core workflow (review revisions, delete them, check/optimize tables) plus post-type filtering, pagination, lifetime stats, and modern security practices.
-
Can I undo a deletion?
-
No. Deleted revisions cannot be restored unless you have a database backup.
-
Does it work on multisite?
-
Multisite support is not included in version 1.2.
