Command Palette
WP Rollback integrates with the WordPress Command Palette, giving you instant keyboard-driven access to any plugin or theme rollback from anywhere in the admin — no menus required.
Opening the Command Palette
Press Cmd + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux from any wp-admin page to open the Command Palette. This is a native WordPress feature available since WordPress 6.3.
WordPress Version Requirement
The Command Palette requires WordPress 6.3 or later. On older versions, WP Rollback degrades gracefully and skips registering rollback commands.
Searching for Rollbacks
Once the palette is open, type rollback to see rollback commands for all your installed plugins and themes.
Search Patterns
| What you type | What appears |
|---|---|
rollback | All installed plugins and themes |
rollback plugin | Plugins only |
rollback theme | Themes only |
rollback akismet | Plugins and themes matching "akismet" |
rollback plugin gravity | Plugins matching "gravity" |
rollback theme twenty | Themes matching "twenty" |
The palette filters results as you type, so you can combine rollback with any part of the plugin or theme name to narrow results quickly.
Command Labels
Each command appears with the format:
- Rollback plugin: {Plugin Name} — navigates directly to that plugin's rollback version selector
- Rollback theme: {Theme Name} — navigates directly to that theme's rollback version selector
Navigating to a Rollback
Select any command by clicking it or pressing Enter when it is highlighted. The palette closes and you are taken directly to the WP Rollback tools page with the selected plugin or theme pre-loaded, ready for version selection.
INFO
Commands navigate to the rollback UI, not the Plugins or Themes screens. You will land directly on the version picker for the asset you selected.
Availability
The Command Palette integration is included in both the free and pro versions of WP Rollback.
| Feature | Free | Pro |

Why Use the Command Palette?
The Command Palette is the fastest way to reach a rollback when you know what you need to roll back. Common situations:
- After a bad update: Open any admin page, press Cmd/Ctrl + K, type the plugin name, and jump straight to the version picker — without navigating to Tools > WP Rollback first.
- During debugging: Quickly check rollback options for several plugins in succession without losing your place in the admin.
- Keyboard-first workflows: Keep your hands on the keyboard throughout the rollback process.
