WordPress 2.6 Revisions September 17, 2008
Posted by Conrad Hubbard in : The Chip , add a commentVersion 2.6 of WordPress offers a feature that saves copies of each revision you make to a specific post. Unfortunately, there is no option to delete these revision copies when you don’t need them any longer. Nor is there a default way to turn this option off. I actually like the feature itself, but wish there was a quick and easy interface to delete all of your revision copies once you are sure you are done with them.
If you have direct access to your SQL database, you can run this query:
DELETE a,b,c FROM wp_posts a LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id) LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id) WHERE a.post_type = ‘revision’
Check out Andrei Neculau’s blog entry for more info about deleting or blocking this feature. Maybe write to WordPress to ask them to add an option to delete ALL revisions?
Clean Green? September 17, 2008
Posted by Conrad Hubbard in : The Chip , 1 comment so farAre we going to put some sort of green soap in the lines? Today, the Republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin called the supplies of natural gas that lie in America “clean green” energy sources. Maybe she doesn’t understand what the word “green” means when people use it in conjunction with energy discussions? Green energy is renewable and green energy doesn’t pollute. Natural gas doesn’t fit. Biogas might qualify, but that clearly wasn’t what she was talking about pumping out of the ground in Alaska.
