WP Rollback – Rollback Plugins and Themes

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 · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   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.

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

   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!
