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,

    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.

    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

    Hi @dimodi,

    Many SG customers have requested the same feature, including us (see Item 12.)

    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://perfmatters.io/docs/feature-requests/
    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.

    In short, with all due respect, action appreciated. All of our requests are falling into a “black hole.”

    Thank you ??
