• Hey guys..:)

    I had to rollback a plugin because of an update that made some changes that I did not want. I alerted the plugin author and he made a change and pushed out a mini update. I have tested the newest update on a dev site and it works fine there. How do I roll forward a plugin? The Rollback link is now removed beside the plugin I rolled back.

    Using the Rollback plugin and the Easy Updates Manager plugin is a good match: https://wordpress.org/plugins/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/
    It would be awesome if both of these plugins could be merged. Added into a feature plugin and in a few years time be added to core.

    Have a great day!

    Actually it could say in the installed plugins screen Rollback/forward.
    As one will likely rollback and then deal with whatever issue is going on and then roll forward.

    Hi @paaljoachim

    If the Rollback button was removed, that’s most likely an issue with the version of the plugin you installed from the author. You absolutely can already roll FORWARD as well. Any plugin that uses the .org directory, we show ALL the versions available, so a dev could even put a version on their SVN directory that is NOT YET live and you would be able to test that version — essentially beta testing.

    You can read more about that here:
    https://wordimpress.com/beta-testing-wordpress-plugins-with-wp-rollback/

    Bottomline: That’s already what you can do with Rollback. The ZIP file you used probably stripped the correct plugin slug of that new plugin so that Rollback can’t identify the SVN repo of that plugin correctly.

    Hey Matt

    I rolled back Caldera Forms from the newest version 1.5.6.1 to 1.5.5 and the rollback button disappeared below the Caldera Forms title. It still shows other the other plugin titles.

    I chatted with Josh about this, he actually has a problem on .org with that version specifically. There’s not a lot we can do about those types of problems when the SVN repo is basically borked.

    Ahhh… that is good to know.
    It will likely work for future versions of Caldera Forms then.

    Thanks Matt.

    It works with the current version, just not if you rollback specifically to (I believe…) 1.5.1-.5 — you’d have to ask Josh specifically which versions were problematic.

    Josh took care of the problem that made me have to rollback so that I will likely have to deactivate WP Rollback and then update Caldera Forms to the newest version. Then reactivate WP Rollback again.
