How to Rollback WordPress Plugin to the Previous or Old Version

Subscribe ‪@WordPressandSEO‬

You updated the plugin to the latest version, but now you have problems and want to rollback to the previous one?

In this video, we will show how to do it in a few simple steps.

In our example, we will update this plugin to the latest version, and then return it to the previous one.
Now when we want to roll back the plugin to the previous version we have to install a new plugin that will allow us rollback.
The list of active plugins now includes the one we just installed, and with it we got the rollback option.
Next to each version there is a view changelog option that allows you to see what the new version has brought.
Simply select the version to which you want to rollback the plugin and start the rollback. Before confirming the switch to another version, you will receive a confirmation dialog where you are suggested to do a complete backup, which can be very important in some cases. Judge whether it is necessary in your case or not.
Clicking on rollback will start the version change process.
After the process is finished, you can see that now the plugin has been reverted to the previous version.
