Awesome Plug-In, Got My Site Functioning Properly Again!

April 3, 2021
I have been getting the 500 Internal Server Error sporadically for the last month, then could not edit at all recently. My server service could not help, except to tell me I have plenty of memory for dealing with Elementor. Other sites with 'experts' could not help. I finally read about this plug-in, installed it, cleaned up the old revisions and am back in business! Thank you so much! And you are now tested with the latest version of WP!

EXCELLENT plugin!

I use Elementor, and every now and then, I'll get the dreaded 500 Server Error every time I go to save changes. Of course this always happens when I need very important information added/removed from my website. My memory is set to the highest and I still wasn't getting anywhere, until I read about this plugin, which sweeps away tons of saved drafts. I had THOUSANDS of old saved drafts and once this plugin swept them away, NO MORE 500 Server Error! I highly recommend this plugin. It saved me! THANK YOU

Works

well when used carefully even for multilingual - then u need to be more careful for "doubled" data

You saved my day!

I was getting error 500 on Elementor when updating the page and could not edit my homepage anymore. I moved my site to another domain and it probably complicated things. Your plugin just cleaned up everything and now it works! THANK YOU!!!!!!
