    I installed woocommerce 2.6 and tried to rollback to 2.55 and it worked successfully. However twice a day i have had to redo the rollback because woocommerce 2.6 was back. I dont know if it updated itself or when someone uses it then reverts back to the latest version. Would it have something to do with caching?

    I had to rollback because other woocommerce plugins are not supporting this latest version. When they are updated this wont be an issue.

    HI there, sorry you’re having trouble.

    WooCommerce 2.6 is a major update. There are significant database changes that happen silently. I just took a close look at their update codes and they’ve been significantly updated to handle database upgrades silently.

    Unfortunately, WP Rollback does not account for database changes at all — it’s not possible for us to do so.

    BUT! I did just test upgrading from WooCommerce 2.5.5 to 2.6.1 and back and forth several times and I believe their update scripts between those two versions work exactly as intended. I double-checked all version numbers and database entries and it looks clean.

    Now… there’s a couple cron jobs and an interesting “install_actions()” function which might be at play here, but the bottom line is I’m not able to reproduce your issue so far.

    Here’s my best suggestions:
    1) Update to WooCommerce 2.6.1 and then try to Rollback to 2.5.5 since that’s what I did with success (seemingly).
    2) After doing that, just for good measure install the Transients Manager plugin and delete ALL transients with that plugin. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/transients-manager/)
    3) If you have any paid WooCommerce Extensions, reach out to their support to see if they have some insight. I’d love to hear what they say about it as well.
