## چۈشەندۈرۈش

**WP Retro Version Manager – Retro Themes and Plugins** simplifies managing WordPress
plugin and theme versions. Whether you need to downgrade a plugin like `wordpress-
seo` or a theme like `twentytwenty` due to compatibility issues, this tool lets 
you search, download, or install specific versions directly from the WordPress.org
repository.

**Key Features:**

 * **Search Plugin and Theme Versions**: Enter a plugin or theme slug (e.g., `wordpress-
   seo`, `twentytwenty`) to view all available versions. The installed version (
   if any) is shown at the top.
 * **Install Older Versions**: Install any version with one click, provided it is
   not already installed.
 * **Download ZIP Files**: Save plugin or theme ZIPs for manual installation or 
   backups.
 * **User-Friendly Interface**: Clean, modern design with clear instructions.
 * **Safe and Secure**: Uses WordPress core APIs for reliable downloads and installations.

**Important Note:**
 If a plugin or theme is already installed, you must manually
deactivate and delete it from the Plugins or Themes page before installing a different
version. Some themes like bundled ones (e.g., `twentytwenty`) may have limited version
history.

## FAQ

### Can I downgrade any WordPress plugin or theme?

Yes, as long as it’s hosted on WordPress.org and has older versions available. Some
themes (like `twentytwenty`) may have limited version history. Older versions may
be available in the WordPress core SVN: https://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/

### Will installing a new version replace the old one?

No. You must manually deactivate and delete the existing plugin or theme before 
installing another version.

### Is it safe to downgrade plugins or themes?

It can solve compatibility issues but may introduce vulnerabilities. Always back
up your site first.

### Can I download plugin or theme versions without installing?

Yes! Use the «Download ZIP» option to save a version for manual installation or 
backup.

### How do I know which version is installed?

The currently installed version appears at the top when you search for a plugin 
or theme.
