How to limit the number of Post Revisions that WordPress will save for your posts and pages

Posted on November 2, 2019

If you have a blog that runs on WordPress you’ve probably noticed how every time you make a change to a post or page WordPress creates a copy of the previous version and stores it in the WordPress database.

These copies are called “Post Revisions”, and they can come in real handy when you want to revert back to an older version of a post. Simply select the version you want to revert to and the WordPress editor will make it happen.

But there’s a problem with these Post Revisions. Every time one is created it basically creates a new copy of the post you’re working on and stores it in the WordPress database. [Read more…]

Q&A: Why did my blog start showing the old versions of posts I’ve updated after installing CloudFlare?

Posted on September 30, 2019

Question from Elise: I’m hoping you can help me fix a problem I’m having with my WordPress blog.

My blog pages started loading real slowly a few weeks ago and I read somewhere online that installing CloudFlare on it would speed it up.

Well, I installed CloudFlare and sure enough the pages immediately started loading a LOT faster. Needless to say, I was delighted!

But then I noticed a problem. Whenever I update a post it shows the updated version when I view it on my computer, but it shows the old version (the way it was before I updated it) when I view it on my phone.

I called several friends of mine and asked them if they were seeing the new versions of the posts (I told them what the changes were so they’d know what to look for). Every one of them are seeing the old versions of my updated posts.

I’m the only person that’s seeing the updates, and that’s only when I’m looking at the posts on my computer. I still see the older versions when I use my phone.

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
