Overview

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 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.

Not able to view any Revisions on plugin page.

This is useless plugin

Simply creating and uploading a plugin on WordPress is not sufficient if it’s neither functioning correctly nor providing any option to display its intended features. 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.

Graceful as it Is

Works excellently with WordPress 6.4.3 and also with ClassicPress 2.0 (based on WP 6.3). Many thanks to good developer!

Disgraceful as it Is

Finally managed to delete this plugin by going to my host’s cpanel and deleting it from my file manager (as trying to delete it from my WordPress install gave a critical error message).

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.

This is a Must-Have!
