Elementor rollback is an important thing that many people are looking for. If you are using Elementor, there will be a need to roll back Elementor. Now, rollback can have various meanings here. Some people might want to get the previous column revision and some people might want to roll back the entire version of Elementor.<\/p>\n
So, you might be wondering what is this guide all about, right? Well, we will cover all these things here. We will cover how you can roll back a specific change and revert it to the original one and we will also see how you can revert to the previous version of Elementor. Both of them are super-easy and it will take no time for you to get things done. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n
Before we do anything, you will have to take a very important step here<\/strong>. This is where you need to put your main focus.<\/p>\n When you make the changes or you revert to the older version, there might appear some unusual problem caused by it<\/strong>. There is a slight chance that the website might see some issues after the rollback. Therefore, you will have to ensure that you have an active backup of the site<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can simply take a backup here<\/strong>. There are two things to keep in mind here. At first, you need to take the backup of the plugins<\/strong> and then you also need to take the backup of the database<\/strong>. The database is an important part here. If you don\u2019t back up the database, it might leave you in big trouble.<\/p>\n There are many backup plugins available<\/strong> that you can use here<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t matter which plugin you use for the backup. The main aim is to take the backup. Once you have the backup, you are all set to do the things. We will now focus on making things happen.<\/p>\n We will now begin the procedure. So, if something happens, you can easily restore the backup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Many people don\u2019t take the backup and end up wasting a lot of time. If something goes wrong, it will surely take a lot of hours to fix the issue. Hence, it\u2019s always better to fix the issue.<\/p>\n We will first see a few things you can try before you revert<\/strong> to the previous version. Maybe, you won\u2019t even need to revert to the older version.<\/p>\n We will now see what are the things that you need to keep in mind before you do an Elementor Rollback.<\/p>\n If there are any major changes made<\/strong> to the plugin, they will disappear<\/strong>. For example, if there is a new widget added in the new version of Elementor, it might disappear. If you have added that new widget to the page and then you revert to the old version, it will be shown as the Elementor block and nothing else<\/strong>. Hence, the page will look different. You will have to remove that.<\/p>\n Also, when you upgrade to the new version again<\/strong>, there are good chances that you won\u2019t see the same configuration<\/strong> when you update it again. Hence, you need to have an active backup before you revert<\/strong> to the older version. This is the reason why you have to take a backup of all the pages.<\/p>\n Further, you also need to ensure that the database will still be the same. So, it will just revert to the older version. If you are facing any other issues<\/strong>, there are good chances that it might not work<\/strong>. However, you can surely try reverting to the older version and see<\/strong> if it solved the issue or not.<\/p>\n These are the things that you need to see before you make the changes to the website. Now that you have a complete idea about it, we will directly see how you can roll back to the previous version.<\/p>\n We will now get started and see what are the things that you need to do here.<\/p>\n This section of Elementor rollback is for the free version only<\/strong>. We will roll back to the previous version. For the pro version, the process is a bit different. We will talk about the process as we move further.<\/p>\n We will first open the WordPress dashboard<\/strong> and head over to Elementor<\/em>. When you go to the <\/strong>Elementor<\/em>, you will see various menus there.<\/strong> Now, you will have to click on the <\/strong>Tools<\/em> option there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In the tools option, there are various things to keep in mind. We will only need one thing from here that is to find the version option.<\/p>\n There will be a Version Control<\/em> tab. When you head over to the Version Control<\/em> tab, you will find various version names in the drop-down menu. You just need to select the version that you want to revert to<\/strong>. When you select the option, you just need to click on the click on rollback<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It will begin the rollback process and then install the previous version of Elementor<\/strong>. This is a great way to get the older version back from the current one. You might want to change it for various reasons. Therefore, you can make the changes here and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n Please note that there will be a limited number of versions available<\/strong> for the rollback. Hence, you need to select the one that suits you the most<\/strong>. Once you select the version, you are all set to do the rollback process. Click on re-install and then save the changes.<\/p>\n Now, many of you will be using the pro version of Elementor and might want to perform the Elementor rollback.\u00a0 The steps here are very similar to the above given one but there are few things to keep in mind<\/strong>. We will talk about the same thing here.<\/p>\n If you are using the pro version, there is a slight difference. You can follow the instruction given for the free version<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can always head over to the Tools<\/em> option. Till there, all the things are same and there is no difference. The real changes start after that<\/strong>. Once you head over to the Tools<\/em> option, you will see two main options.<\/p>\n One of the options is for the Elementor free version rollback<\/strong> and below it, you will also see the option for the pro version<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In the pro version, you can revert to the version. You can revert to the older version and then click on the reinstall button<\/strong>. When you click on the revert, it will automatically install the version and then you will have to click on the Save button<\/strong>.<\/p>\n One of the things that you need to remember is to hit the save button<\/strong>. Most people don\u2019t hit the save button. If you don\u2019t hit the save button, you won\u2019t be able to save the changes. You can save the changes and then it will automatically revert the pro version.<\/p>\nTry these things before Reverting to an Older Version<\/h2>\n
