Upsure takes the risk out: 1. **Backup first** — the plugin’s or theme’s files are copied before WordPress touches them. If the backup fails, the update is cancelled. 2. **Check after** — your key pages (home, product, cart, checkout…) are loaded before and after the update and compared for errors, crashes, and missing content. 3. **Roll back automatically** — if the update broke something, the previous version is restored and you get an email explaining what happened. WordPress won’t auto- update to the broken version again. Works with manual updates, bulk updates, and WordPress background auto-updates. ## Screenshots [⌊Choose which pages are checked.

It picks the most important pages of your site to check and starts protecting every plugin and theme update straight away. 3. Optional: open Tools Upsure to adjust the pages, then use “Run health check now” and “Send test email” to confirm your site can check itself and send you alerts. ## FAQ ### Which pages are checked? Up to 10 pages you choose under Tools Upsure. When you first activate the plugin, it picks the most important ones for you: the home page, pages with contact or booking forms, the pages in your menu, and, with WooCommerce, the checkout, cart, shop and a product. You can tick or untick suggestions, add any page from a list, or type in other URLs on your site. ### Where are backups stored? In `wp-content/uploads/upsure-backups-` followed by a random code, as zip archives. The archives can’t run as code, the folder name can’t be guessed, and the folder also blocks web access on Apache servers. Uninstalling the plugin keeps the backups; delete that folder yourself if you no longer need them. ### My host asks for FTP details when I update plugins. Does it work? Yes. Backups are made in your uploads folder as usual, and when a broken update has to be undone, Upsure restores the files through the same FTP or SSH connection WordPress used for the update. If you restore a backup by hand from Tools Upsure, WordPress asks for your connection details there too, the same way it does for updates. ### My host blocks the site from loading its own pages. Checks will be marked “inconclusive” and you’ll be emailed instead of rolled back. Use “Run health check now” on Tools Upsure to test. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/512d1435c96544c13ef350da9c2f266732e77037d17d80ad667f3c44b806aaa1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A promising solution for improving WordPress website stability and reducing the](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-promising-solution-for-improving-wordpress-website-stability-and-reducing-the/)󠁿 [empedrado](https://profiles.wordpress.org/empedrado/) October 13, 2026 Upsure – Automatic Rollback for Broken Updates is a promising solution for improving WordPress website stability and reducing the risks associated with plugin, theme, and core updates. One of the biggest challenges in maintaining WordPress websites is that updates can sometimes introduce compatibility issues, PHP errors, or unexpected functionality problems. Having an automatic rollback mechanism can help minimize downtime and reduce the need for immediate manual intervention when an update breaks a website. From a web development and maintenance perspective, this type of plugin can be particularly useful for websites that rely on multiple plugins and third- party integrations. It provides an additional layer of protection during routine maintenance and helps make the update process less risky.Pros Improved website stability: Automatic rollback can help restore a working state when a supported update causes a failure. Reduced maintenance workload: May reduce the need for developers to manually troubleshoot certain update-related issues. Lower risk during updates: Provides an additional safeguard when maintaining websites with multiple plugins and dependencies. Useful for ongoing maintenance: Can complement existing backup, staging, and quality assurance procedures. Cons and Considerations Automatic rollback should not replace regular backups or testing on a staging environment. Developers should verify which types of failures the plugin can detect and which updates it supports. Compatibility with the website's hosting environment, PHP version, and other maintenance tools should be tested before deployment. A rollback may not reverse database changes or other external side effects introduced by an update. Final Verdict Upsure is worth considering for WordPress maintenance workflows where minimizing update-related downtime is a priority. Its automatic rollback approach could be especially beneficial for websites with frequent updates and limited maintenance windows. However, I would recommend testing it on a staging website first and verifying its rollback behavior before using it on production sites. For mission-critical websites, automatic rollback should be part of a broader maintenance strategy that includes backups, staging tests, monitoring, and post-update quality assurance. Overall recommendation: Worth testing as an additional safeguard for WordPress update management, subject to compatibility testing and verification of its actual rollback capabilities.

New installs start with the most important ones selected. * New: “Add a page” adds any page or custom post (services, products…) to the list straight away, with a counter for the 10-page limit. * New: “Send test email” button, to check that alerts can reach you before you need them. * New: theme updates are protected too: backed up first, checked after, and rolled back automatically if they break your site. * New: works on hosts where WordPress updates plugins over FTP or SSH. Before, Upsure cancelled updates on those hosts because it could not make a backup. * New: delete backups you no longer need. Backups of plugins you’ve deleted are marked “not installed” and kept until you remove them, so a plugin deleted by mistake can be restored. #### 0.1.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **0.2.0** * Last updated **5 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.4 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/upsure/) * Tags * [backup](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/backup/)[maintenance](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/maintenance/) [rollback](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rollback/)[security](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/security/) [updates](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/updates/) * [Advanced View](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/upsure/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 1 5-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upsure/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Umbrella Web ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blairwebproject/) ## Support Got something to say?
