20267 releases

  1. WP Rollback 3.3.0Latest

    • New: After you install WP Rollback, a short welcome asks what you want to do and guides you through your first rollback or a 1-minute tour.
    • New: Subscribe to the WP Rollback newsletter after a rollback or from the dashboard. Nothing is sent unless you click Subscribe.
    • Fix: Going straight from one rollback screen to another now loads the new plugin or theme and no longer leaves the previous rollback’s completion message open.
    • Fix: Rollback cleanup now only deletes the temporary package files WP Rollback created and leaves any other file alone.
    • Fix: A premium plugin whose updater borrows a WordPress.org plugin’s name is no longer mistaken for that plugin, so a rollback can’t install the wrong one.
    • Fix: When WP Rollback is network activated, subsites no longer get rollback commands in the command palette that open a page they don’t have.

  2. WP Rollback 3.2.0

    • Enhancement: Pages load a little faster because WP Rollback no longer checks its backup folder on every request.
    • Enhancement: Redesigned the main WP Rollback screen with a cleaner layout and a side-by-side look at what Free and Pro cover.
    • Enhancement: The upgrade screen for premium plugins and themes has a clearer layout and explains what Plugin Vault is.
    • Enhancement: Deleting WP Rollback now removes the settings it saved.
    • Security: Backups now live in a private folder with a hard-to-guess name. Your existing backups are moved over automatically when you update.
    • Fix: Plugins with date-style version numbers, like Theme Check, can now be rolled back instead of showing an “Invalid version key” error.
    • Fix: Rolling back now works for plugins whose folder you’ve renamed to disable them during a conflict (e.g. wp-rollback-disabled/).
    • Fix: A rollback no longer takes your site down with a fatal error on hosts where the temporary maintenance-mode file can’t be read.
    • Fix: A successful rollback no longer reports a “critical error” or leaves visitors on the maintenance page (e.g. FooGallery 3.3.7 to 3.3.3).
    • Fix: If a rollback can’t unzip the new files, the plugin or theme you had is put back instead of being left deleted.
    • Fix: A rollback that fails partway through, like a download that times out, no longer leaves visitors on the maintenance page.
    • Fix: On multisite with WP Rollback network-activated, rolling back a plugin or theme now turns on maintenance mode when any site uses it.
    • Fix: When a PHP error stops a rollback, the message now shows the error and where to look instead of raw HTML code.
    • Fix: Users who can update themes, but not plugins, can now roll back themes.
    • Fix: A plugin or theme no longer shows or deletes backups belonging to another whose folder name starts the same way (e.g. foo and foo-bar).
    • Compatibility: WP Rollback now pauses itself with a notice when WP Rollback Pro 1.4.2 or older is active, since the two can’t run together.
    • Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

  3. WP Rollback 3.1.2

    • Fix: Resolved a fatal TypeError thrown from the admin_footer_text filter when another plugin or theme passes a non-string value (such as null) into the footer text chain. This affected sites running Classic Editor and other admin-customizing plugins, where the WP Rollback admin footer hook could bl…

  4. WP Rollback 3.1.1

    • New: WordPress Command Palette integration — press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) from any admin page and type “Rollback” to instantly find and navigate to any installed plugin or theme rollback. Type “Rollback plugin” to filter to plugins only, or “Rollback theme” for themes only.
    • Enhancement: The default WordPress admin footer is now replaced with subtle WP Rollback branding on all WP Rollback pages — the left side shows “Thank you for using WP Rollback” and the right side shows the current plugin version.

  5. WP Rollback 3.1.0

    • Enhancement: Redesigned rollback confirmation modal — replaced the generic admin table with a visual version comparison showing the installed version and target version side by side, making the rollback action immediately clear at a glance.
    • Enhancement: Redesigned rollback progress modal — steps now display a shimmer skeleton before loading to prevent layout jump, running step messages appear in real-time, and the spinning header icon switches to a checkmark once all steps complete.
    • Enhancement: Duplicate step message text is no longer shown while a step is actively running; the detail message now only appears on completion with meaningful server-side feedback.
    • Enhancement: Added Lottie success animation to the rollback complete screen (Pro) along with redesigned “What’s next?” step cards featuring contextual icons.
    • Fix: Rollback complete modal no longer shows a spurious scrollbar on the complete screen at typical viewport heights.

  6. WP Rollback 3.0.12

    • Enhancement: Users can now reinstall the currently installed version of a plugin or theme. The rollback button now adapts its label based on the selected version — “Reinstall” when selecting the current version, “Rollback” when selecting an older version, and “Update” when selecting a newer version…
    • Fix: Resolved critical issue where rolling back a plugin with an uninstall.php file or registered uninstall hook would trigger the plugin’s uninstall routine, potentially deleting database tables, options, and other user data. Rollbacks now use direct filesystem deletion matching WordPress Core’s P…

  7. WP Rollback 3.0.11

    • Fix: Resolved fatal error that occurred on servers without the PHP ZipArchive extension when any plugin or theme was updated. The plugin now automatically uses WordPress Core’s PclZip library as a fallback, ensuring backups work on all server configurations and updates never fail.
    • Fix: Column sorting now works correctly for Version and Status columns in plugin and theme lists.
    • Enhancement: Added PclZip fallback for backup creation when ZipArchive extension is unavailable, ensuring universal compatibility across all hosting environments.
    • Enhancement: Improved error handling throughout the backup system to catch both Exceptions and PHP Errors, preventing any interruption to plugin/theme updates.
    • Enhancement: Optimized DataView components with reusable hooks and improved performance.

202511 releases

  1. WP Rollback 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.

  2. WP Rollback 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. WP Rollback 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.

  4. WP Rollback 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.

  5. WP Rollback 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.

  6. WP Rollback 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.

  7. WP Rollback 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.

  8. WP Rollback 3.0.3

    • Fix: Resolved fatal error when attempting to roll back 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.

  9. WP Rollback 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.

  10. WP Rollback 3.0.1

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

  11. WP Rollback 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.

20244 releases

  1. WP Rollback 2.0.7

    • Fix: Resolved a bug with plain permalink websites which caused a rest_no_route error when trying to roll back 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. WP Rollback 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.

  3. WP Rollback 2.0.5

    • New: In this version we’ve brought back the “trunk” option to roll back to. This allows plugin or theme developers who use trunk for beta testing to roll back 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.

  4. WP Rollback 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.

20235 releases

  1. WP Rollback 2.0.3

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

  2. WP Rollback 2.0.2

  3. WP Rollback 2.0.1
