What the author says it does
Quickly and easily roll back any theme or plugin from WordPress.org to any previous (or newer) version without any of the manual fuss. Works just like the plugin updater, except you’re rolling back (or forward) to a specific version. No need for manually downloading and FTPing the files or learning Subversion. This plugin takes care of the trouble for you.
🔙 Roll Back WordPress.org Plugins and Themes
While it’s considered best practice to always keep your WordPress plugins and themes updated, we understand there are times you may need to quickly revert to a previous version. This plugin makes that process as easy as a few mouse clicks. Simply select the version of the plugin or theme that you’d like to roll back to, confirm, and in a few moments you’ll be using the version requested. No more fumbling to find the version, downloading, unzipping, FTPing, learning Subversion or hair pulling.
For advanced features including rollback support for premium plugins and themes you already have licensed and installed (Elementor Pro, Gravity Forms, WooCommerce extensions, Kadence Pro, Astra Pro, GeneratePress Premium, Divi, Envato/ThemeForest products, and more), comprehensive activity logging, multisite network management, and priority support, consider upgrading to WP Rollback Pro.
Muy Importante (Very Important): Always Test and Backup

Questions the author answers
Is this plugin safe to use?
Short answer = Yes. Longer answer = It depends on how you use it.
WP Rollback is completely safe because all it does is take publicly available versions of the plugins you already have on your site and install the version that you designate. There is no other kinds of trickery or fancy offsite calls or anything. BUT!!!
Why isn’t there a rollback button next to X plugin or theme?
WP Rollback (free) only works with plugins or themes hosted on the WordPress.org repository. If you don’t see the rollback link, that plugin or theme is not available on WordPress.org and cannot be rolled back with the free version.
If you need to roll back a premium plugin or theme that you are licensed to use, WP Rollback Pro supports that use case.
I rolled my [insert plugin name] back to version X.X and now my site is broken. This is your fault.
Nope. We warned you in bold print several times in many places. And our plugin delivered exactly what it said it would do. May the Gods of the internet pity your broken site’s soul.
Where is the complete documentation located?
The documentation for this plugin is located on our the WP Rollback site. This is where we make regular updates.
What’s the difference between WP Rollback Free and Pro?
WP Rollback Free provides rollback functionality for any plugin or theme hosted on the WordPress.org repository.
WP Rollback Pro adds support for rolling back premium plugins and themes that you already have a valid license for and have installed on your site. This is handled through Plugin Vault — a shared library of verified version archives contributed by Pro users.
Can this plugin be translated?
Yes! All strings are internationalized and ready to be translated. You can either use your favorite translation plugin, or help translate the plugin on WordPress.org.
Latest changelog entry
- Enhancement: Pages load a little faster because WP Rollback no longer checks its backup folder on every request.
- Enhancement: Redesigned the main WP Rollback screen with a cleaner layout and a side-by-side look at what Free and Pro cover.
- Enhancement: The upgrade screen for premium plugins and themes has a clearer layout and explains what Plugin Vault is.
- Enhancement: Deleting WP Rollback now removes the settings it saved.
- Security: Backups now live in a private folder with a hard-to-guess name. Your existing backups are moved over automatically when you update.
Screenshots
Click the Rollback link on the Plugins page to begin a plugin rollback. 
Select the version you would like to switch to on the version selection page. 
Confirm you would like to proceed with the rollback. 
The plugin will update to the selected version.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
