Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Auto Backup Before Update automatically creates version-specific backups of your plugins and themes right before they’re updated — so you can safely revert if an update breaks your site.

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

  • When you update a plugin or theme, this plugin creates a backup snapshot of:
  • The specific plugin or theme files being updated.
  • After the update, if the site breaks or an issue occurs, go to:

Dashboard → ABBU → Restore

  • 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.
