One of the most annoying new features in WordPress is post revisions. On its own, this is not a bad feature at all. Especially if you have multiple people working on the same posts and if you’re the type who likes to have copies of each revision you make.

I tweak way too often which can make the database size explode - literally! I don’t have use for post revisions. If you don’t either here’s how to get rid of it. No plugin required.

Pop open wp-config.php, paste this in there

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);

You can paste it right after under define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);
