    Hello,

    I am using your plugin and have a problem while clearing old revisions. When I clear all old revisions using Better Delete Revisions Plugin, the files od WP Document revisions aren’t resolving and their URL changes from e.g. /downloads/example.zip to /downloads/example/. After cleaning the old revisions, /downloads/example.zip URL doesn’t work as well when trying to resolve the file manually.
    Probably your nice plugin isn’t compatible with Better Delete Revisions or other way…
    Is there a chance you could help me to solve the issue?

    Best,
    Dariusz.

    Don’t do that. If you do that it probably detects the revisions as “Redundant” and deletes them. They look very similar, so w/o that plugin knowing exactly how Document Revisions (DR) works, and how to tell the difference between revision A and revision B, then it will probably screw up and delete more than it should.

    The main issue is that DR works using “a novel way of handling post attachments”. So without additional coding and understanding of how DR works, that plugin will have issues…

    I would request that the vendor put in a filter that tells “Better Delete Revisions” plugin to leave post_type “document” or “revision” AND their respective attachments and meta alone.

    I am also guessing that it determines that they are duplicates due to the fact that each post with an attached revision has the same “post_content”…

    Not really much that can be done from this end, this is an issue with “Better Delete Revisions” not being able to tell that the two revisions have the same content, however different attachments.
