About this plugin
Quickly and easily rollback any theme or plugin from WordPress.org to any previous (or newer) version without any of the manual fuss. Works just like the plugin updater, except you’re rolling back (or forward) to a specific version. No need for manually downloading and FTPing the files or learning Subversion. This plugin takes care of the trouble for you.
🔙 Rollback WordPress.org Plugins and Themes
While it’s considered best practice to always keep your WordPress plugins and themes updated, we understand there are times you may need to quickly revert to a previous version. This plugin makes that process as easy as a few mouse clicks. Simply select the version of the plugin or theme that you’d like to rollback to, confirm, and in a few moments you’ll be using the version requested. No more fumbling to find the version, downloading, unzipping, FTPing, learning Subversion or hair pulling.
For advanced features including rollback support for premium plugins and themes you already have licensed and installed (Elementor Pro, Gravity Forms, WooCommerce extensions, Kadence Pro, Astra Pro, GeneratePress Premium, Divi, Envato/ThemeForest products, and more), comprehensive activity logging, multisite network management, and priority support, consider upgrading to WP Rollback Pro.
Muy Importante (Very Important): Always Test and Backup
Important Disclaimer: This plugin is not intended to be used without first taking the proper precautions to ensure zero data loss or site downtime. Always be sure you have first tested the rollback on a staging or development site prior to using WP Rollback on a live site.
We provide no (zero) assurances, guarantees, or warranties that the plugin, theme, or WordPress version you are downgrading to will work as you expect. Use this plugin at your own risk.

Questions
- Is this plugin safe to use?
Short answer = Yes. Longer answer = It depends on how you use it.
WP Rollback is completely safe because all it does is take publicly available versions of the plugins you already have on your site and install the version that you designate. There is no other kinds of trickery or fancy offsite calls or anything. BUT!!!
Safety largely depends on you. The WordPress website admin. We absolutely do NOT recommend rolling back any plugins or themes on a live site. Test the rollback locally first, have backups, use all the best practice tools available to you. This is intended to make rolling back easier, that’s all.
- Why isn’t there a rollback button next to X plugin or theme?
WP Rollback (free) only works with plugins or themes hosted on the WordPress.org repository. If you don’t see the rollback link, that plugin or theme is not available on WordPress.org and cannot be rolled back with the free version.
If you need to roll back a premium plugin or theme that you are licensed to use, WP Rollback Pro supports that use case.
- I rolled my [insert plugin name] back to version X.X and now my site is broken. This is your fault.
Nope. We warned you in bold print several times in many places. And our plugin delivered exactly what it said it would do. May the Gods of the internet pity your broken site’s soul.
- Where is the complete documentation located?
The documentation for this plugin is located on our the WP Rollback site. This is where we make regular updates.
- What’s the difference between WP Rollback Free and Pro?
WP Rollback Free provides rollback functionality for any plugin or theme hosted on the WordPress.org repository.
WP Rollback Pro adds support for rolling back premium plugins and themes that you already have a valid license for and have installed on your site. This is handled through Plugin Vault — a shared library of verified version archives contributed by Pro users. Pro also includes comprehensive activity logging, multisite network management, and priority support. Learn more about Pro features.
- Can this plugin be translated?
Yes! All strings are internationalized and ready to be translated. You can either use your favorite translation plugin, or help translate the plugin on WordPress.org.
