- mgkimsal 2y agoI thought they'd also modified revisions to have a limit, instead of unlimited. Even when 'enabled', it's not how the rest of the wp installs would behave (iirc). Likely there was some code change there to enable that restriction.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoYou're out here on HN acting completely unfamiliar with the idea of configuring to limit resource consumption?
- odo1242 2y agoNo. They add the below to wp-config.php: define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);
- mldevv 2y agoThey use the parts of wordpress that are specifically built in to make modifications, as any other site maintainer would hosting their own install. You are mistaken.
