## 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.
