No more guessing what went wrong after an update — simply restore to the last working version in a few clicks. ### Key Features - **Automatic pre-update backups** — Every plugin and theme is backed up before updates. - **Version-specific restore points** — Restore individual plugins or themes to their previous versions. - **Manual restore option** — Revert anytime from the Restore screen if an issue occurs. - **Lightweight and reliable** — No full-site backups or heavy compression that slow your server. ### How It Works 1. When you update a plugin or theme, this plugin creates a backup snapshot of: - The specific plugin or theme files being updated. 2. After the update, if the site breaks or an issue occurs, go to: **Dashboard → Tools → Auto Backup Before Update → Restore** 3. Choose the item and version to restore — and you’re back online instantly. ### Ideal For - Site owners who frequently update plugins/themes. - Developers managing multiple client sites. - Staging or production sites where downtime isn’t acceptable. == Installation == 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/auto-backup-before-update/` or install directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. 2.
