 * Hey guys..:)
 * I had to rollback a plugin because of an update that made some changes that I
   did not want. I alerted the plugin author and he made a change and pushed out
   a mini update. I have tested the newest update on a dev site and it works fine
   there. How do I roll forward a plugin? The Rollback link is now removed beside
   the plugin I rolled back.
 * Using the Rollback plugin and the Easy Updates Manager plugin is a good match:

   It would be awesome if both of these plugins could be merged. Added into a feature
   plugin and in a few years time be added to core.
 * Have a great day!

 * Actually it could say in the installed plugins screen Rollback/forward.
    As one
   will likely rollback and then deal with whatever issue is going on and then roll
   forward.

 * Hi [@paaljoachim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/)
 * If the Rollback button was removed, that’s most likely an issue with the version
   of the plugin you installed from the author. You absolutely can already roll 
   FORWARD as well. Any plugin that uses the .org directory, we show ALL the versions
   available, so a dev could even put a version on their SVN directory that is NOT
   YET live and you would be able to test that version — essentially beta testing.
 * You can read more about that here:
    [https://wordimpress.com/beta-testing-wordpress-plugins-with-wp-rollback/](https://wordimpress.com/beta-testing-wordpress-plugins-with-wp-rollback/)
 * Bottomline: That’s already what you can do with Rollback. The ZIP file you used
   probably stripped the correct plugin slug of that new plugin so that Rollback
   can’t identify the SVN repo of that plugin correctly.

 * Hey Matt
 * I rolled back Caldera Forms from the newest version 1.5.6.1 to 1.5.5 and the 
   rollback button disappeared below the Caldera Forms title. It still shows other
   the other plugin titles.

 * I chatted with Josh about this, he actually has a problem on .org with that version
   specifically. There’s not a lot we can do about those types of problems when 
   the SVN repo is basically borked.

 * Ahhh… that is good to know.
    It will likely work for future versions of Caldera
   Forms then.
 * Thanks Matt.

 * It works with the current version, just not if you rollback specifically to (
   I believe…) 1.5.1-.5 — you’d have to ask Josh specifically which versions were
   problematic.

 * Josh took care of the problem that made me have to rollback so that I will likely
   have to deactivate WP Rollback and then update Caldera Forms to the newest version.
   Then reactivate WP Rollback again.
