I think you’re right. Post revision would be better if implemented as plugin.

I think post revisions are a great idea and should be an option, but you shouldn’t have to be a computer programmer to figure out how to access them. I find the above information totally confusing, and cannot find the proper post revisions in my database file.

A pity programmers only know how to write code for programmers and not the rest of us.

This is a very similar post to mine that I did a few days ago on these features. I dislike the features as you will read in my blog post:

Some nice tips. Users must just remember to use their own prefix in from of the table name otherwise the SQL statements above will not work.

Limiting Post Revisions to 3 on my personal blog. But finding it kind of annoying that there’s not UI to handle that stuff from the back-end … always forget about it first when I start a new WP blog.

That command removes the actual revisions (the saved copies of your posts), but doesn't clean up after any of the associated data that is stored in the wp_term_relationships and wp_postmeta tables. The query provided in the article deletes all revision-related data, as well as the revisions themselves.

Hey Volkan,

I decided to go with Bitstream’s “Freehand 575 BT” for tutorials and diagrams here at DiW. Its lowercase characters are a bit difficult to read, but the uppercase chars seem to work well.
