errors - Notice: Constant WP_POST_REVISIONS already defined

I made a local clone of a website that's running LIVE in order to safely work offline for a while. On every page of the local version I get a HUGE warning which says

Notice: Constant WP_POST_REVISIONS already defined in C:\xampp\htdocs\local-tutorials\wp-config.php on line 95

I guess it's been defined twice, once in wp-config.php and once elsewhere, right? However, I've no clue where it's been defined for the second time.

I searched wp-config.php for a second instance but no luck. I then checked the functions.php in my theme but it doesn't contain any statement on revisions.

Googling leads mainly to rather old threads that seem to address a different issue.

I believe the error is related to a reasonably recent (< 1 year?) Wordpress update since it didn't occur previously but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

UPDATE

After searching all files, three contained wp_post_revisions:

• C:\xampp\htdocs\local-tutorials\wp-config.php
• C:\xampp\htdocs\local-tutorials\wp-includes\default-constants.php
• C:\xampp\htdocs\local-tutorials\wp-includes\revision.php

I commented out the wp_post_revisions in default-constants.php and this seems to solve the problem. I find that a bit awkward since wp-config.php is (partly) meant to override default constants.

So I think it's strange I get this huge error when I do so. Or am I missing something?

• 2 do a search on all your files instead of trying to guess where it is – Mark Kaplun Commented Aug 16, 2014 at 6:20
• 7 I'm guessing that you're defining the constant in wp-config.php after WordPress has been loaded. Make sure that the define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', ... line is before require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); – shea Commented Aug 21, 2014 at 11:49

I have the same problem before. I put WP_POST_REVISIONS in the end of wp-config.php file and it didn't work correctly. You should put your codes before defining ABSPATH and before this line:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

it must be something like in the following:

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 6 );
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

I hope it solves your problem. So don't put your codes in the end of wp-config.php file

I have experience of same error like that:

Notice: Constant WP_POST_REVISIONS already defined in var/www/html/wp-config.php on 
line 95

And accordance code on line 95 is like following:

define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

I make this 'false' and then move to line 86 above that commit:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

And then it works. Hope your luck~
