Automatic WordPress plugin updates that roll back when something breaks
Updating early is the best defence against vulnerabilities, but a blind update can break the site. Here every update comes with a way back.
Putting the old files back isn't enough.
Many updates, especially for e-commerce and page builders, change the database too. The classic rollback restores only the plugin folder and leaves the site half done, with new tables and old code.
And if you update every site at the same moment, you find a faulty release on all your clients at once.
Backup, checks, update, verification.
Before
A recent full backup, a check of the pages you chose and a restore point with the plugin folder and the tables it may change.
During
The plugin is updated through WordPress's own updater, at night, in the site's time zone.
After
We check the pages and PHP errors again. If something broke, files and database go back to how they were and the pages are checked once more.

What happens if an update breaks the site?
We apply the restore point: the plugin folder and saved tables come back, tables created by the update are removed and the pages are checked again. You get an alert with the reason.
Does it work for Joomla?
Today it works for WordPress plugins and themes. Joomla extensions are next.
Can I choose what updates automatically?
Yes. For each site choose manual updates, only releases that fix vulnerabilities, or everything after the 48 hours.
