Download the wp-config.php file from your server and make the following changes as per your requirement.

Empty Trash Automatically

You can control the number of days before WordPress permanently deletes posts, pages, attachments, and comments, from the trash bin. The default WordPress setting is 30 days.

define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 15 ); // 15 days

To disable trash set the number of days to “0″. Note that WordPress won’t ask for confirmation when someone clicks on “Delete Permanently”.

define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 0 ); // "0" days

WordPress Database Optimization (Automatic)

You can enable WordPress Database Optimization by adding the following define to your wp-config.php file only when the feature is required

The script can be found at {site-name}/wp-admin/maint/repair.php

Note that when this functionality is enabled, the user need not be logged in to access this feature. This is because its main intent is to repair a corrupted database, Users can often not login when the database is corrupt.

How to modify WordPress Post Revisions & AutoSave settings without plugins

There are many inbuilt functions for WordPress posts like the AutoSave, Post Revisions, etc. One can easily tweak them without much coding knowledge. The following changes have to be made in the wp-config.php file.

Modify AutoSave Interval

When editing a post, WordPress uses Ajax to auto-save revisions to the post as you edit. You may want to increase this setting for longer delays in between auto-saves, or decrease the setting to make sure you never lose changes. The default is 60 seconds.

define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 160 ); // Seconds

Post Revisions

WordPress post revisions, by default, will save copies of each edit made to a post or page, allowing the possibility of reverting to a previous version of that post or page. The saving of revisions can be disabled, or a maximum number of revisions per post or page can be specified.

Also read :

Disable Post Revisions

If you do not set this value, WordPress defaults WP_POST_REVISIONS to true(enable post revisions). If you want to disable the awesome revisions feature, use this setting:

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', false );

Note: Some users could not get this to function until moving the command to the first line under the initial block comment in config.php.

Specify the Maximum Number of Post Revisions

If you want to specify a maximum number of revisions, change false to an integer/number (for example 2 or 4).

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3 );

Handful of fixes for Windows 8.1 Preview

Microsoft has been releasing Windows 8.1 Preview fixes on a more accelerated schedule. For instance, so far, about 11 fixes have been released over a four-week period.

Microsoft seems to be addressing basic problems in Windows 8.1 Preview in these patch releases. While the OS is still at a beta test stage, a more polished version is near at hand. Microsoft has indicated that the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) version of Windows 8.1 likely will arrives sometime late next month.

Windows 8.1 restores the Start button (or something like it), and allows bootups directly to the Desktop side of Windows 8.1, among other improvements. Installing the Preview, though, comes with lots of caveats. Some of the updates are

  • KB2863147 – Fixes a license notification issue. Basically Microsoft migrates your Windows 8 license to 8.1 and this will make sure it doesn’t expire and that you can still upgrade to the final Windows 8.1.
  • KB2865946 – Smart card PIN disclosure after an automatic restart for Windows Update.
  • KB2866512 – Internet Explorer 11 Preview freezes or crashes while loading a web page containing widgets.
  • KB2866537 – Windows Store app instability after an app update in Windows 8.1 Preview.
  • KB 2870257- Service metadata packages in Windows 8.1 Preview. This fix addresses problems with the service metadata packages of “some network operators.”
  • KB 2871052- Stability of SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 Preview. No details are provided on what is getting fixed.
  • KB 2871055- Viewing a Web page with a timer in Internet Explorer 11 Preview on Windows 8.1 Preview. This bug is described as being an issue with Web pages set to render in the IE 10 document mode that also contain VBScripts associated with timer code. When the pages are viewed in the IE 11 Preview browser, the VBScript code doesn’t start correctly

If you’re running the Windows 8.1 preview, all of the updates should be installed automatically. In a welcome change in Windows 8.1, both Important and Recommended updates are available from either the touch-friendly Windows 8 PC Settings or the desktop Control Panel.
