WP Rollback is a WordPress plugin for reverting WordPress.org plugins and themes to selected earlier versions. It suits solo, small, and mid-market WordPress administrators who need a controlled way to recover from problematic updates. The free edition handles plugins and themes from the WordPress.org repository, creates local ZIP archives before updates, checks integrity and permissions during rollback, and supports WordPress Multisite. Rollbacks replace code files while generally preserving plugin or theme settings and data.

The free and Pro editions divide the product's scope clearly. Free covers WordPress.org plugin and theme rollback. Pro adds premium plugin and theme rollback through Plugin Vault, locally archived versions, activity logging with user and version details, REST API endpoints, and webhook hooks. Pro licensing uses annual billing, while pricing is handled through a sales contact. WordPress, WP-CLI, and webhooks are the listed integrations, and deployment supports self-hosted and cloud environments. Email, community, and documentation channels provide support options.

Its standout feature is a rollback workflow that combines version selection, pre-update ZIP archives, and integrity and permission validation rather than only replacing files. That makes it a practical fit for administrators who want a recovery path inside WordPress, including multisite installations. The focus is narrow: organizations managing another CMS, or teams that need premium rollback and operational logging without a Pro license, should consider a different extension. WordPress administrators who primarily work with repository-hosted assets can choose the free edition; those handling premium assets or requiring API and audit-oriented controls should choose Pro.
