By [Jose Mortellaro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giuse/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/plugversions.0.2.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugversions/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugversions/#reviews) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugversions/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/plugversions/) ## Description PlugVersions lets you retain up to three versions each time you update a plugin, including premium and custom plugins. If a new version doesn’t work as expected, you can easily roll back by selecting a previous version with a single click. It works similarly to post revisions, but for plugins. While [WP Rollback](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/) is a great solution for plugins hosted on the WordPress repository, PlugVersions supports all plugins, including those not available on the repo. This broader compatibility is currently the key difference between PlugVersions and other rollback plugins. Additional features, such as version previews, are on the roadmap. ### How to roll back to a previous version of a plugin * Install and activate PlugVersions. * Go to the Plugins page in your WordPress dashboard. * For any plugin that has been updated, you’ll see a “Revisions” action link. Hover over it to view the list of previously stored versions. * Click on the version you want to restore. * That’s it. Your plugin is rolled back! There are no settings to configure. This free version allows you to retain up to three previous plugin versions. You’ll find them listed under the “Revisions” link on the Plugins page. ### How to Safely Update a WordPress Plugin To learn how to safely update a WordPress plugin, please read the detailed guide here: [How to Safely Update a WordPress Plugin](https://josemortellaro.com/how-to-safely-update-a-wordpress-plugin/) ### Help in case of issues after a plugin update Want peace of mind when updating your plugins?

Ensure that the plugin is properly coded, adheres to WordPress standards, and includes necessary hooks or settings for displaying its functionality. Debugging and testing are crucial before deploying it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/87ab010554e39f7bd14fa3c22067fa64883af420d97e097361cd8ec17cc5aec0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Graceful as it Is](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graceful-as-it-is/)󠁿 [Juhan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juhan108/) March 21, 2024 1 reply Works excellently with Wordpress 6.4.3 and also with ClassicPress 2.0 (based on WP 6.3).

The reason? I consider any rollback plugin as one that you can use, then delete it when you’ve done the rollback. This plugin though does not allow that and needs to be installed and live to go back to an older version. However, trying to delete it is where the fun starts: On deactivating PlugVersions, ALL of the versions of plugins, and themes that have been rolled back now appear as NEW plugins that need to be removed and deleted. These plugins also appear in WordFence – but when you see which plugins need updating, nothing is there – they just appear in your admin bar as plugins that need updating. I needed to delete 21 versions of plugins and themes and as already mentioned, delete Plugversions from my hosting cpanel. Probably the worst plugin that I’ve ever installed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/244e93e61a31e9fb340b503a9406811b330d53ee8596c85037237b38a3eff0c5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is a Must-Have!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-a-must-have-14/)󠁿 [paolurso](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paolurso/) January 24, 2024 PlugVersions is a WordPress game-changer, offering effortless plugin rollback for unmatched site stability and peace of mind.
