No longer must you rely on the <code>WP_POST_REVISIONS<\/code> constant, which applied universally. This plugin provides an interface for this new functionality.<\/p>\n\n<p>With this plugin enabled, simply visit <strong>Settings &gt; Writing<\/strong> to specify the number of revisions retained for each post type.<\/p>\n\n<p>Why is this helpful? Revisions are stored in the database, and if many are stored, can cause bloat. This bloat may lead to slower queries, which can have a noticeable performance impact. The value of these revisions also depends on what is being tracked. For example, I may want to store every revision of the posts I write, but only desire to keep the latest five versions of each page on my site. Starting in WordPress 3.6, this control is available. WordPress doesn\u2019t provide a native interface to specify revisions quantities, so I wrote this quick plugin to do so.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thanks to Maria Ramos at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webhostinghub.com\/\">WebHostingHub<\/a>, the plugin is also available in Spanish.
