Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Revisions Delete

Only users allowed to delete that post, unless you change the required capability with the wpsrd_capability filter.

Yes.

In the classic editor, yes: the purge control is a plain form and falls back to a full page submission. The bulk action works without JavaScript too. The block editor itself requires JavaScript, so its purge button does as well.

Yes, from the Revisions metabox of the classic editor: every listed revision has its own "Delete" button. In the block editor, only the full purge is available.

No. Only revisions are deleted, through the core wp_delete_post_revision() function. The post itself and its current content are never touched.

No, and none is needed. The two filters documented above are the only configuration points.
