# Rollbacks

Restore the previous version of a plugin or the theme after an update.

A rollback restores the version of a plugin or the theme that was installed before the last update made with GPLClub Updater. Rollbacks do not use credits.

## How it works

Before each update, the Updater saves a copy of the installed version on the site's server, in `wp-content/uploads/gplclub-backups/`. A rollback replaces the current version with that copy.

* One copy is kept per product: the immediately previous version.
* The copy is deleted when you restore it or update the product again. This is why you can only go back one version.
* Only products updated with the Updater have a copy. There is no copy of products updated from WordPress or other tools, or of plugins installed for the first time from the Updater.
* If the site uses a child theme, the copy is of the parent theme.

## Restore a previous version

1. In the WordPress menu, go to **GPLClub Updater > Rollbacks**.
2. Select **Rollback** on the plugin or theme. The button is only enabled if a copy exists.

The page reloads when the rollback finishes. To go back to the latest version, update the product again from the [Dashboard](/en/gplclub-updater/update-plugins-and-themes.md); the update uses 1 credit.

## If the rollback fails

If the rollback does not complete, the Updater keeps the installed version. In this case, no message is shown and the button stays in a loading state. Reload the page and [contact support](/en/support-and-legal/contact-us.md) with the product name.
