About this comparison

If you are looking for a WP Rollback alternative, this page compares what WP Rollback actually ships with what uiXpress includes. WP Rollback, used on 300,000+ sites, lets you revert (or roll forward) any WordPress.org plugin or theme to a chosen version from the dashboard — without FTP or SVN. The free plugin only works with directory-hosted assets. WP Rollback Pro adds rollbacks for licensed premium plugins and themes (Elementor Pro, Gravity Forms, Kadence, Astra, Divi, Envato products, and more) via Plugin Vault, plus activity logging, multisite tools, and integrity checks. It is a version-control utility. It does not replace the Plugins screen with a new application.
