WP Downgrade | Specific Core Version

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Was able to downgrade from WP 6.9.1 to 6.9.0 for testing an issue. Of course the latest is good, but sometimes we have to know where an issue stems from. Great for rolling back and diagnostics. Thank you!

   After upgrading to version 3.9, my site layout was broken due to a bug. Thanks to this plugin, I was able to downgrade WordPress easily, and the site display returned to normal. This plugin was extremely helpful.

   WP core updated automatically to 6.4 One of my important plugins stopped working correctly. I downgraded WP core to 6.3.2. It was really easy. Now I have turned off WP-core automatic plugin. Definetely keeper!! Big thanks

   Saved me a ton of time when I needed to downgrade from the latest WordPress that had some issues. It was super easy to install and set the old version I wanted.
