One of the major features of WordPress 2.6 is Revisions; Revisions are a powerful feature for anyone who likes to keep a track of a page/post’s modifications, But they’re not for everybody.
There has been quite a bit of complaining that WordPress does not include a option to disable Revisions via the admin interface, and instead relied on a wp-config.php constant being defined. This plugin is designed to allow Configuring this option via the WordPress admin panel, And to set it on a per-post/page basis.
Version 1.1 seperates the global options into Posts and Pages, You may choose to globally disable revisions for Posts, yet leave them enabled for pages, or vice versa.
MU Compatibility: No, This is not MU Compatible – Well, At least I dont think it is, I have not written it for MU and do not understand the differences between WP and WPMU with respect to plugins. I might look into it for the next version if there are enough requests for MU Compat.
Eg. I might Disable Revisions Globally on my blog, I will now only have the Live version, and the Autosave. However, I might decide i want to Revision this page, So i just change the revision option to Enabled, Revisions are now only enabled for this page, nothing else. I could also optionally tell it to only save 3 revisions for this page.

Known Issues:
- Disabling Post revisions on a post Deletes all revisions for that post, However, Disabling globally does not delete current Revisions.
- Selected option does not stick, Or appears to stick to a non-selected value. Finally Fixed in 1.5

Dion, thanks for awesome plugin. I have been using older version, which was working well, but after upgrading to 2.0, I am missing “remove” links to remove actual revisions… I am running WP 3.0.1:

Hi,
like MJ I’m using wp 3.01 and I’m also missing the “Delete” or “Remove” buttons at the revisions meta box.
It would be great, if you could solve that issue!
regards,
Julius
thank
Dion, thanks for the great plug.
One note: I’m on WP 3.01 and I think I’m having the same issue as Julius & MJ > No delete buttons as shown in the screenshots.

I think you select the revisions you want to delete and then just save the page. Am I correct in my assumption? Can anyone confirm this for me?
Btw, just installed this for the first time and I only wish the majority of plugins available were so useful. THANKS!
