Rollback Auto Update

Descrizione

This is a feature plugin is for testing Rollback Auto-Update, aka Rollback part 3. This feature only protects plugins during the auto-update process.

As part of the normal Rollback process, the currently installed version of the plugin is moved to wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/plugins. An active plugin is checked to ensure it doesn’t cause a PHP fatal error when visiting the site. An inactive plugin is not checked because it cannot cause your site to white screen.

Rollback parts 1 was merged into WordPress 6.2 as the move_dir(). Rollback part 2 was merged into WordPress 6.3 and protects the manual update process of plugins and themes.

Testing

  • Requires WordPress 6.3
  • This only works on auto-updates.
  • Run the following commands from the terminal. You might need to run the command several times to get it started:
    wp cron event run wp_version_check
  • When updating a plugin, you should be able to see the old plugin in the wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/plugins/PLUGINNAME folder. The same should apply for themes. Since updates sometimes run fast and we may miss the folder creation during testing, you can simulate an update failure to demonstrate.
  • When a plugin auto-update fails, the previous version should be restored. To test that, change the version of a plugin to a previous number, run the update, and on fail the previous version (the one where you changed the version number) should still be installed on the site. To simulate an update failure and confirm this works, use the built-in Simulate failure link. Just activate/deactivate from the plugins.php page action link. This link will only be present if the plugin has an update pending.

When a plugin update succeeds, but the new version causes a Fatal Error (like what recently happened with WP Crontrol version 1.13.x), you would expect Rollback Update Failure to roll back the offending plugin to the previous version, but alas! Rollback Update Failure isn’t immune to Fatal Errors. What it needs is an external Cron process OUTSIDE of WordPress that monitors an update log for an update, followed by Fatal Errors in the PHP error log, and then does what Rollback Update Failure is supposed to do, otherwise WordPress is always going to be susceptible to idiot plugin developers that cause Fatal Errors with plugin updates.

That is great! I have just one question! How many times this plugin could roll back a theme or a plugin update, can it roll back for example three steps back? Thank you for your answer in advance!
