Periodically purge old post revisions via WP Cron.

Installation Instructions
- Upload the revision-strike/ directory to your WordPress installation’s plugin directory (by default, /wp-content/plugins).
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Activating the plugin will automatically register a daily WP Cron event to clean up revisions on established posts. If you’d prefer not to wait, you can explicitly purge post revisions through the ‘Tools > Revision Strike’ page within WordPress or with WP-CLI.
Can I configure how long a post needs to be published before its revisions can be removed?
Yes. On the Settings > Writing page there is an option to set the default number of days a post must be published before removing its revisions, but out of the box it’s 30 days.
Can I manually run Revision Strike without having to wait for the daily WP Cron event?
Yup, just visit Tools > Revision Strike within the WordPress admin area. If you’re a WP-CLI user, you can also run Revision Strike from the command line (run wp revision-strike clean --help for a full list of options).
