There is a Ticket somewhere in our bug tracking for bbPress, I just can’t find it right now but there is a planned improvement to only show a single revision log notice, it is planned to do a bit more than just the notice display also 😉

Any update on this? Or any suggestions?

If no replies I will dive in the code to try and figure it out. Just trying to save time, hopefully someone has already done this or has a general idea how to (even a suggestion on the file to edit would save me a step!)

Thank you 🙂

Thanks Stephen 🙂

Will definitely keep an eye on developments. For now I have used CSS to hide all but the most recent revision, here’s the code if anyone else needs it:

.bbp-topic-revision-log li {
	display:none;
}
.bbp-topic-revision-log li:last-child {
	display:block;
}

@tallsam Its not really an issue since it should show a list of items in the latest version of bbPress and since Stephen’s ticket he linked to has not been committed yet.

IF @pinkishhue’s Custom CSS code does not work after you placed it in your child themes style.css file and have also tried adding !important on the end, you can try my custom php code snippet.

Make sure to place this into your child themes functions.php file in your child theme.

// Only return one entry for revision log otherwise it gets cluttered
function bbp_trim_revision_log( $r='' ) {
 $arr = array( end( $r ));
 reset( $r );
 
 return( $arr );
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );

My question: do you really want those revisions ?
I delete them regularly using https://wordpress.org/plugins/rvg-optimize-database/

Pascal.

Well, if you have a good backup of your database, you can always launch this query:
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = "revision";
Pascal.

That crashed my sight for some reason. Any thoughts?

@tallsam

Did you place the code snippet I placed earlier correctly?? It seems to work fine on my test site.

Same thing goes for @pinkishhue‘s code.

These both work if you want to show only 1 revision log on the Frontend of your forums.

But first, is there going to be an update to bbpress that will remove the extra revision statements? If so, any thoughts on when this will be ready?

Not really remove the statements, but just make 1 visible. Have no idea when @netweb’s code will make it into core.

@tallsam

Do you want them all gone?? This topic is all about just having one visible on the frontend.

Also there might be a bug about the revisions somewhere I think. Haven’t fully checked that one out though.

But you can always disable the revision logging from being displayed in the forums in Settings > Forums, there will still be revisions on the edits in the backend though, since it is a post type in WordPress. And hide the existing revisions with CSS using the first half of pinkishhue’s code.

There is a way to limit the total number of revisions kept per post though in WordPress.

But if you do want to completely remove the revisions you can use a plugin that @casiepa listed, but this may remove ALL revisions of any post or plugin using the revision system in WordPress. Some custom css plugins may use it, and clearing the revisions may lose all your saved styles.

no problem 🙂

I think that would be helpful to solve your query https://www.wpblog.com/disable-limit-wordpress-post-revisions/
