🔙 Rollback WordPress.org Plugins and Themes

Essential tool! Now fully translated into Persian (Farsi)
by Afshari·2 months ago·1 reply

This plugin is a true lifesaver. It has saved my websites countless times when an update went wrong. It is simply a “must-have” for any WordPress administrator.

To show my appreciation for this incredible tool, I decided to contribute by translating 100% of the plugin and the Readme into Persian (Farsi).

As the Translation Editor (PTE) for this locale, I have ensured that all strings are accurate and meaningful for Iranian users. Now, the Persian community can use WP Rollback with even more confidence.

Thank you for maintaining such a vital plugin!

Best regards, @saeidafshari

دوستان و همکاران گرامی، ترجمه فارسی این افزونه (شامل محیط افزونه و توضیحات فنی) به صورت کامل و استاندارد انجام و بازبینی شده است. با توجه به حساسیت عملکرد این افزونه، تلاش کردم تمام اصطلاحات فنی را با دقت ترجمه کنم تا بتوانید با خیال راحت و بدون ابهام، در مواقع ضروری نسخه‌های قالب یا افزونه‌های خود را مدیریت کنید.
استفاده از این ابزار نجات‌بخش را به همه شما توصیه می‌کنم.
Amazing plugin

Coming from someone that rarely leaves reviews: WP Rollback is 10/10 amazing. Super useful and such a timesaver.

Piece of Mind!
by jeremy20184·6 months ago·1 reply

This is a very, very handy plug in to know about and use.

I’m not much of a tekkie. I run a website and experience functionality breakdown after updating plugins.

About two weeks ago, I had such a breakdown and my tech guy was out of the country – my calendar system wouldn’t allow people to select categories, venues, and organizers, so they couldn’t enter events.

Anyway, I came across WP Rollback and it brought me indescribable peace of mind knowing that I could “rollback” the problem-causing plugin update!

Thanks for this gift, Devin!

Frequently Asked Questions

Changelog

3.1.0

  • Enhancement: Redesigned rollback confirmation modal — replaced the generic admin table with a visual version comparison showing the installed version and target version side by side, making the rollback action immediately clear at a glance.
  • Enhancement: Redesigned rollback progress modal — steps now display a shimmer skeleton before loading to prevent layout jump, running step messages appear in real-time, and the spinning header icon switches to a checkmark once all steps complete.
  • Enhancement: Duplicate step message text is no longer shown while a step is actively running; the detail message now only appears on completion with meaningful server-side feedback.
  • Enhancement: Added Lottie success animation to the rollback complete screen (Pro) along with redesigned “What’s next?” step cards featuring contextual icons.
  • Fix: Rollback complete modal no longer shows a spurious scrollbar on the complete screen at typical viewport heights.
