2.0.6

Fix: The release corrects the paths used in plugin file includes and requires. The unnecessary forward slashes at the start of each file path have been removed. This change ensures proper file inclusion and requirement, avoiding potential issues with file not found errors.

2.0.5

  • New: In this version we’ve brought back the “trunk” option to rollback to. This allows plugin or theme developers who use trunk for beta testing to rollback to the latest trunk version. Thanks, @megamenu for suggesting this be brought back.
  • Fix: Refactored how plugin avatar images are checked so that all available image types and sizes are checked. This resolves an issue where some plugins would not display an avatar image.
  • Fix: On the final rollback confirmation screen, the plugin name field was outputting raw HTML. This has been fixed to properly display the plugin name, even if it contains some html characters.

2.0.4

  • Fix: Resolved issue REST route not including proper permission callback which created a PHP notice. Thanks, @rom1our for submitting the issue.
  • Fix: Resolve issue with REST API and multisite installs not being able to properly communicate with the endpoint.

2.0.3

2.0.2

  • Fix: Resolves an issue with WP Rollback not being able to communicate to its REST API on WordPress subdirectory installs. Thanks, @emaralive for reporting the issue.

2.0.1

  • Fix: Resolved an issue with the POT file not properly being generated at release. This resolves the issue with the new UI not being able to be translated.

2.0.0

  • New: Introducing version 2.0! In this new version the UI is now better looking and snappier than ever. The branding has also been updated to look and feel more modern.

1.7.3

  • Fix: Resolved an issue with plugin rollbacks not correctly setting a filepath for the plugin being rolled back. Props to WP.org user @itmesteren for the fix.

  • New: If a plugin or theme does not have any tagged releases to select from then then an informative notice appears rather than empty space for a better user experience. #42
  • Tweak: Use the WP.org API to retrieve plugin release version information for more reliable results. #35

The DeLorean time machine of the plugins (my new fav).

When you need a quick rollback because, for example, a plugin crashes all your whole site and you can't figure out what's happening… and the developer releases an update without testing (and don't responded your replies -I hate it-).
THIS is the plugin that will save your day, you can "go back in time" to when everything was working OK.
Thanks and keep improving, we will need it.

Great Plugin to roll back updates of faulty plugins

By dietschi on December 5, 2023

The Plugin helped me very much to run my site again after update of a faulty plugin.

OMGosh...IT WORKS!

By duciplandica on October 30, 2023

Amazing!!! I suddenly couldn't edit the site on a new computer and could not figure out for solid hour why nothing was working. After disabling a bunch of plugins with no success and tried a similar rollback plugin, found this, and BAM! Gave me the option and see a ton of archived plug version which I found out was the culprit. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Lifesaver

By rospapergirl on October 23, 2023

I didn't know this plugin existed and imagined having to roll back to a previous version of my website. A plugin that is normally fantastic, and adds to my site's functionality, updated to a new version and there's a big error that affects a page and a widget that are important.

WP Rollback has restored my website's usability for visitors while the other plugin gets fixed. Thank you. :)

Easy and very intuitive

By Victor Mendoza (victortree) on October 12, 2023

Did the trick

By Lindsey Epps Tucker (tuckbooty) on September 21, 2023

I had a problem with a recent update to a plug-in that limited some of the most important features of the theme I was using. I was able to go back to the last version that worked, and now everything is fine. This plug-in did the trick for sure.

lifesaver !!

By iamdavidbrown711 on June 21, 2023

super easy to use, works all the time

You saved me !!!

By Cristian-Mihai (chrismb78) on June 16, 2023

Today after an update to a theme, my website went crazy! Luckily I found this plugin and I managed to rollback the theme until I figure out what I have to do to make the website work with the new theme update.

Thank you!
