Beschrijving

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

Hoewel het als beste praktijk wordt beschouwd om altijd je WordPress plugins en thema’s geüpdatet te houden, begrijpen we dat je soms snel moet terugdraaien naar een vorige versie. Deze plugin maakt dat proces zo simpel als een paar klikken. Selecteer simpelweg de plugin of themaversie waarnaar je terug wil gaan, bevestig en in korte tijd zul je de geselecteerde versie gebruiken. Geen gedoe meer om de versie te vinden, downloaden, ontzippen, FTP’en, subversie leren of haren te trekken.

For advanced features like premium plugin/theme support (Envato, Kadence Pro, Astra Pro, etc.), comprehensive activity logging, multisite network support, and priority support, consider upgrading to WP Rollback Pro.

Zeer belangrijk (Very important): altijd testen en back-up maken

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 bieden geen (nul) waarborgen of garanties dat de plugin, thema, of WordPress versie waarnaar je terugdraait zal werken zoals je verwacht. Gebruik deze plugin op eigen risico.

Installatie

Minimale vereisten

WordPress 6.5 of hoger
PHP versie 7.4 of hoger
MySQL-versie 5.0 of hoger

Automatische installatie

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of WP Rollback, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type “WP Rollback” and click Search Plugins. Once you have found the plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.

Handmatige installatie

The manual installation method involves downloading our donation plugin and uploading it to your server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.

Bezig met bijwerken

Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.

FAQ

Is deze plugin veilig om te gebruiken?

Kort antwoord = Ja. Langer antwoord = het hangt af van hoe je het gebruikt.

WP Rollback is helemaal veilig want het enige dat het doet, is publiekelijk toegankelijke versies van de plugins die je al hebt opzoeken, en de door je aangewezen versie installeren. Er is geen ander soort gegoochel of offsite calls of wat dan ook. MAAR!!!

Veiligheid hangt grotendeels van je af. De WordPress site beheer. We raden absoluut NIET aan om plugins of thema’s terug te draaien op een live site. Test de rollback eerst lokaal, maak back-ups, gebruik alle beste praktijk gereedschap die je ter beschikking hebt. Dit is bedoeld om het terugdraaien gemakkelijker te maken, dat is alles.

Waarom is er geen rollback knop naast plugin of thema X?

WP Rollback only works with plugins or themes installed from the WordPress Repository. If you don’t see the rollback link, then most likely that plugin or theme is not found on WordPress.org. This plugin does not support plugins from GitHub, ThemeForest, or other sources other than the WordPress.org Repo.

Ik heb mijn [voeg plugin naam in] terug tot versie X.X gedraaid, en nu is mijn site gebroken. Dit is je schuld.

Neen. We hebben je in vetgedrukte letters meerdere keren gewaarschuwd. En onze plugin heeft precies gedaan wat het zei dat het zou doen. Moge de Goden des internets genade hebben met de ziel van je gebroken site.

Waar bevindt zich de volledige documentatie?

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 essential rollback functionality for WordPress.org plugins and themes. WP Rollback Pro adds powerful features including premium plugin/theme support (Gravity Forms, Elementor, Kadence Pro, Astra Pro, Divi, etc.), comprehensive activity logging, multisite network support, and priority support. Learn more about Pro features.

Kan deze plugin vertaald worden?

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.

Coming from someone that rarely leaves reviews: WP Rollback is 10/10 amazing. Super useful and such a timesaver.

This is a very, very handy plug in to know about and use. I’m not much of a tekkie. I run a website and experience functionality breakdown after updating plugins. About two weeks ago, I had such a breakdown and my tech guy was out of the country – my calendar system wouldn’t allow people to select categories, venues, and organizers, so they couldn’t enter events. Anyway, I came across WP Rollback and it brought me indescribable peace of mind knowing that I could “rollback” the problem-causing plugin update! Thanks for this gift, Devin!

Changelog

3.0.10

Fix: Resolved fatal error when Visual Composer page builder is active. The plugin now properly validates screen IDs to handle cases where page builders return non-standard screen ID values.

3.0.9

New: Re-added “Trunk” as an available rollback version option for testing development versions.
New: Added support for pre-release versions including beta, alpha, and RC versions (e.g., 15.1-beta.2, 15.2-a.7, 2.5.0-RC1).
Enhancement: Improved version sorting algorithm to properly order pre-release versions alongside stable releases.
Tweak: Added smooth rotating animation to loading indicators for better visual feedback.
Tweak: Updated compatibility to WordPress 6.9.

3.0.8

Fix: Changed the filesystem type in BackupService from WP_Filesystem_Direct to WP_Filesystem_Base to allow for broader compatibility with different filesystem implementations.

3.0.7

Fix: Updated the WP_Filesystem call in BackupService to set $allow_relaxed_file_ownership to true, enabling support for Group/World writable files. This change aims to prevent potential issues with file permissions during backup operations. Thanks to @hanno from WP.org support forums.

3.0.6

Enhancement: Premium plugin and theme archives are no longer recreated if an archive already exists for the current version. This improves performance during updates and rollbacks by skipping unnecessary backup operations.
Fix: Resolved critical issue where WooCommerce and other plugins with autoloaders would cause fatal errors during rollback. The plugin is now properly deactivated before deletion to prevent PHP errors when files are removed.

3.0.5

Fix: Resolved conflict where maintenance mode was interfering with external monitoring tools like Nagios, WP-CLI, and automated WordPress update checks. The maintenance page is now only shown to regular site visitors, allowing monitoring tools and admin processes to function normally.
Fix: Maintenance mode now only activates when rolling back active plugins or themes. Inactive plugins and themes no longer trigger maintenance mode unnecessarily.
Fix: Corrected an issue where the maintenance mode step wasn’t displaying in the Free version’s rollback progress UI due to incorrect service provider load order.
Improvement: Refactored rollback step registration for better code maintainability across Free and Pro versions, ensuring consistent behavior.

3.0.4

New: Added maintenance mode support during rollback operations to prevent site access while files are being replaced, following WordPress Core update patterns.
Improvement: Enhanced rollback safety with automatic maintenance mode cleanup that ensures your site never gets stuck in maintenance mode, even if a rollback fails.
Fix: Removed overly restrictive package validation that required plugin main files to match the plugin slug. This fix allows plugins like Visual Composer (with main file “plugin-wordpress.php”) and other legitimate plugins with non-standard main file names to be rolled back successfully.
Fix: Resolved fatal error when using WP CLI bulk updates (wp plugin update --all) due to missing string type check. The backup service now properly handles cases where the package parameter is boolean instead of a string during bulk operations.
Fix: WordPress Multisite network admin pages now properly load rollback scripts and styles.
Fix: Resolved package validation errors on multisite installations where ZIP files were incorrectly flagged as invalid.
Fix: Fixed multisite upload size restrictions that prevented rollbacks due to the default 1MB limit.

3.0.3

Fix: Resolved fatal error when attempting to rollback plugins that return boolean false for requires_php field instead of a string value. This fix ensures proper type validation for WordPress requirement fields.
Fix: Plugin and theme names containing HTML entities (like &, <, etc.) now display correctly in rollback modals instead of showing raw HTML characters.

3.0.2

Improvement: Simplified theme rollback button display functionality – all themes now display rollback buttons without checking WordPress.org availability.
Improvement: Consolidated theme rollback JavaScript handlers between free and pro versions for better code maintainability.
Improvement: Removed visual distinction between WordPress.org and premium plugin rollback links for a more consistent UI.
Fix: Resolved fatal error on themes.php page caused by incorrect namespace references.

3.0.1

Fix: Resolved an error with JetPack Sync and potentially other plugins that modify plugin data and return null.

3.0.0

New: Added additional “WP Rollback” menu item under WP-Admin > Tools.
New: Added new “Plugin” and “Themes” list views to select a rollback more easily.
New: WP Rollback now stores premium assets locally on your server for easy future access.
New: Added upsells to the new WP Rollback Pro.
New: Updated plugin to support PHP versions 7.4 – 8.4.

2.0.7

Fix: Resolved a bug with plain permalink websites which caused a rest_no_route error when trying to rollback a plugin or theme. Thanks, @afizesan for helping pinpoint the issue.
Fix: Update the way the React app is loaded to suppress React 18+ warnings.
Tweak: Bumped the plugin’s minimum required WordPress version to 6.0+ for best compatibility with new React components in UI.

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

Fix: A few additional strings in JavaScript needed to be internationalized. Thanks, @pedro-mendonca for contributing the fix.

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.

1.7.2

Fix: Ensure that the “Rollback” button displays properly when a WordPress site only has a single theme installed. Thanks @eldertech for your help uncovering this bug.
Fix: Minor CSS fixes for the Rollback page.
Tweak: Update the WordPress.org readme.txt file to have better instructions for translating the plugin. We also fixed a few typos.
