## تفصیل

Seamless rollback of WordPress Core to latest release or any outdated, secure release
using the Core Update API and core update methods. Only latest release and outdated,
secure releases are offered. Refer to https://api.wordpress.org/core/stable-check/
1.0/ Logo from a meme generator. [Original artwork](http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html)
by Allie Brosh.

### Usage

From the Tools menu select `Rollback Core`, select the version you wish to rollback
to from the dropdown and click `Rollback`. You will be directed to the `update-core.
php` page where you should see a button to `Re-install` your specified version. 
If you move away from the `update-core.php` page before clicking the `Re-install`
button you will have 15 seconds to return and complete the process or you will need
to start over.

In multisite use the Settings menu.

**WARNING:** Downgrading WordPress Core may leave your site in an unusable state
requiring a complete reinstall or a forced reinstall using WP-CLI, `wp core update--
force --version=5.5.3`. It may also leave your site broken due to a plugin or theme
incompatibility. **Use at your own risk.**

Rollbacks use your current locale.

PRs are welcome.

This is a life saver for when you need to pull a client’s site down into local, 
but they’re on an older version of WP and they refuse to pay us for updating the
sites plugins.

I did my job with it, I downgraded WordPress from 6.9 to 6.8.3.

### 󠀁[6.8 to 6.7.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/6-8-to-6-7-2/)󠁿

 [wpandlpuser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpandlpuser/) مئی 11, 2025

My theme was not compatible with the automatically installed WP 6.8 and it let to
critical errors on the page. I could still access the admin page to download the
plugin and trigger the rollback. Unfortunately, the theme has no support from the
developer and probably it is not going to receive a patch for WP 6.8. I followed
the re-install steps and everything worked well. Once the installation was finished,
I was force-logged out and upon trying to enter the admin area, my password was 
no longer valid. Small heart attack. (ref. @ndstry had the same issue mentioned 
in a previous review, it seems there is a hashing logic changed between the versions).
Luckily the password reset email was working well and I could reset the admin account.
I have also shut down the website (I am hosting it locally with Local) and then 
the WP version is also shown correctly. Thank you for developing this plugin!

Unable to log into site after rollback to 6.7.2 from 6.8.1. Password reset failed
to send e-mails. Host provider e-mailed a temporary password which effected a successful
log in. Website is otherwise OK. Was unaware of inherent rollback complications 
from 6.8 due to core encryption modifications, as I saw no disclaimer in plugin 
description.

 [Duncan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/duncan1967/) مئی 1, 2025

Used on 6.8.1 to 6.7.2 rollback – very nice and easy. I’d performed a simple file
and folder rollback which worked perfectly but the DashBoard still showed the original
WordPress version. Yes, could have fixed that easily (I believe) but this plugin
just did what I wanted in about a minute, with the correct rollback version now 
displayed in the Dashboard, too. Thanks :o)

I attempted to use it on my test site and it would not rollback to any previous 
versions. I ended up using another plugin which worked effortlessly.
