Auto Backup Before Update<\/strong> automatically creates version-specific backups of your plugins and themes right before they\u2019re updated<\/strong> \u2014 so you can safely revert if an update breaks your site.<\/p>\n\n

No more guessing what went wrong after an update \u2014 simply restore to the last working version in a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Automatic pre-update backups<\/strong> \u2014 Every plugin and theme is backed up before updates.<\/li>\n
  • Version-specific restore points<\/strong> \u2014 Restore individual plugins or themes to their previous versions.<\/li>\n
  • Manual restore option<\/strong> \u2014 Revert anytime from the Restore screen if an issue occurs.<\/li>\n
  • Lightweight and reliable<\/strong> \u2014 No full-site backups or heavy compression that slow your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    How It Works<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    1. When you update a plugin or theme, this plugin creates a backup snapshot of:\n\n
        \n
      • The specific plugin or theme files being updated.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
      • After the update, if the site breaks or an issue occurs, go to:\nDashboard \u2192 ABBU \u2192 Restore<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Choose the item and version to restore \u2014 and you\u2019re back online instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Ideal For<\/h3>\n\n
          \n
        • Site owners who frequently update plugins\/themes.<\/li>\n
        • Developers managing multiple client sites.<\/li>\n
        • Staging or production sites where downtime isn\u2019t acceptable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/auto-backup-before-update\/<\/code> or install directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory.<\/li>\n
          2. Activate the plugin through the \u2018Plugins\u2019 menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
          3. Backups are automatically triggered before plugin, theme, or core updates.<\/li>\n
          4. To restore, navigate to Dashboard \u2192 ABBU \u2192 Restore<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n

            Does this create full site backups?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. It only backs up the specific plugin or theme being updated \u2014 keeping things lightweight and fast.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Where are backups stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Backups are saved locally in wp-content\/uploads\/abbu-backups\/<\/code>. You can download or delete them anytime.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Can I restore a specific plugin version only?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes. Each plugin and theme backup is tied to its previous version, allowing selective rollback.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does it work with auto-updates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes, backups are created automatically before both manual and scheduled auto-updates.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
