I am running Bbpress 4.1.1. If you have the revision log turned on, every saved edit will be displayed under the post. I’m a frequent post editor, so I wind up with 10+ logs if I don’t remember to uncheck the box, and there’s no easy way to delete them.

I am looking for a way to make each topic and post only show the latest edit. There should only ever be one edit note per post. Is this possible, via plugin or code or some option I haven’t found yet?

There is a ticket for a future release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989

you can hide them all with CSS

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
  display: none;
}

if you want to delete the old revisions use a plugin like WP-Sweep

@Robkk
Thanks for the response. I saw that ticket, but there’s no way to tell when it will actually be implemented. I was hoping there was a solution available currently. Displaying one revision per post (not none) is really what I’m after. I know how to disable, hide, and remove revisions already.

edit: Wait, I think I misunderstood what the ticket was. Can I use the patch listed to do this?

last patch says 19months so i wouldnt touch it.

maybe using a custom last edit log using the two template tags below would work
