How to roll back a WordPress plugin update?

Unless the plugin has made significant database changes, you could follow these steps to downgrade it:

  1. Download and extract the old version from the plugin repository
  2. Disable the plugin
  3. Log on to your server with FTP or SSH
  4. Upload the old plugin directory to wp-content/plugins/. (You would want to overwrite the newer version.)
  5. Reactivate the plugin
