Common Issues & Troubleshooting
1. Can I roll back a theme or WordPress core?
Currently, rollback is only available for plugins. Themes and WordPress core cannot be rolled back via WP Umbrella.
2. Why don’t I see the rollback option for some plugins?
If no rollback option appears, it means that plugin doesn’t support rollback, or rollback points are unavailable. You may need to manually install the older version or contact the plugin’s support team.
3. What should I do if the rollback fails?
If a rollback attempt fails, please contact WP Umbrella’s Support team with details like the plugin name, version, and affected site so we can help resolve it quickly.
4. How many versions can I roll back a plugin?
The number of available rollback versions depends on the plugin, but generally, multiple versions within a major release are offered for rollback.
5. Will the plugin stay activated after rollback?
If you tick Activate the plugin after rollback, yes, it will remain active. Otherwise, it will stay deactivated until you choose to activate it later.
