Enable/disable post revisions programmatically

1 Views

Is there a way to temporarily disable revisions…. I have noticed that wp_update_post is very slow and creates revisions I don’t need.
The fix could be to disable revisions before issuing wp_update_post and re-enable the feature once done….

  1. To keep posts updated, I am working with WordPress 4.4 and to enable/disable post revisions programmatically use:

    remove_action( 'post_updated', 'wp_save_post_revision' );
$post_id = wp_update_post( $arg );
add_action( 'post_updated', 'wp_save_post_revision' );

  2. Seems this will do the job:

    remove_action('pre_post_update', 'wp_save_post_revision');// stop revisions

    and

    add_action('pre_post_update', 'wp_save_post_revision');//  enable revisions again
