Core Rollback

Very useful


I needed to rollback to WP 6.1.x to quickly test an issue with one of my plugins and this worked perfectly. 


Works as Expected

Very Good. Works Well


A handy time saver for developers trying to test their code against legacy WP versions. Thanks for making this!


Works great!

So thankful for this when you're troubleshooting whether an issue is related to a new version or not!

Bless this plugin
