Updating a WordPress plugin to a specific version

  • Hi all

    I have a question that I hope you can help me with, the question is as follows.

    If / when I update WordPress plugins on a self-hosted site, is it possible either through the admin page or directly on the server itself, to update a plugin to a specific available version instead of always updating plugins to the latest available version?

    Thank you in advance
    Best regards

  • If you go to the plugin homepage page on the www.ads-software.com repository and add /advanced/ to the end of the URL, scroll down and you can find a dropdown menu where you can download previous verisons. Then you can manually upload these to your site.

    For example, for Contact Form 7 this would be: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/contact-form-7/advanced/

    Every plugin author will reccomend you use the latest verison for good reason, but if you have to use an old version, a well maintained plugin will have a change log and should detail if velnerabilities were found in previous verisons and when they were fixed
