Hi guys,
Two questions for ya.
1) I’m constantly updating my pages every day (I’m at 155 on my homepage at the moment) and was just wondering if I am going to be running into any problems in the future. Will page revisions just keep going into the thousands and hundred of thousands?
2) I have several sections where I post articles on my website. On the home page I have my big articles (Big Grid 1) and then I just have quick news stories listed right below labeled “Top News” (Block 16). Sometimes I’ll have a big story in both sections, but not usually. In order to not have both stories listed in both sections I have to go into the Big Grid 1 under Post ID Filters to exclude articles that I want solely under “Top News.” Does that make sense and is there a way around this method?

Hello,
1) There is no limit to how many revisions you can have on wordpress so I think you are safe as they will not all be kept. There should be a revision cap that when reached, it will delete the oldest ones. I don’t think it will hold all revision. You can set the revision cap yourself if you want just to be safe by using this function: https://codex.wordpress.org/Revisions
2) This depends on how you filter your blocks on pages. There are 3 ways you can exclude duplicates. One is to use different filters so different categories are shown in the blocks. The other is using the offset feature if you have the same category in the blosk so one block will show the first x posts and the second block will start at x+1 The third option is to simply use the unique articles feature: https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/ but this will not work with ajax filters or pagination. It will only work on blocks that do not use ajax.
I hope this helps.
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your help. I did have another question for you. Is there a way to publish an article and not have it go directly to the homepage?
For example, if I want an article to go under NFL, I’ll choose NFL in the Categories and also tag it NFL. But when I do this, the article also goes to the homepage. Sometimes I don’t want it to go to the homepage. Is there a way to have articles go to the sections (NFL, NBA, etc.) and not have them go to the homepage?

Hopefully, that makes sense.

Hello Justingiles,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option for this, sorry! Please notice that each post created by you should be part of minimum one category. So, if you do not assign one, the post will be from the Uncategorized category. So, what can you do is to change the block filter, if you do not want to display that post which is part of category X If you do not want to display the post from X category, in the block, you can exclude this category with a minus symbol, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/4O2tdNtlYekX For more information about this feature, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
To house clean old revisions, I use the free WP-Optimize plugin 🙂
Thanks for the information Catalin.
Do you think you guys will add something like this in the future?
Thanks, Chris. I will definitely check this out. It will be nice to finally clear out all of those revisions.
