We try our best to put out a stable product, but the unfortunate happens some times and we release the plugin and our users find things that we missed during testing.
In some specific cases, we've seen catastrophic bugs that totally destroy a client's site or simply stops them from being able to accept payments. In these cases, we should take very specific action to ensure that the damage is limited.
Step 1 - Rollback the stable tag on WordPress.
- Edit the
readme.txt
and changeStable tag
back to the previous release. - Commit this to SVN with an appropriate message.
Step 2 - Inform HE's
- Make sure to inform HE's of the issue and send them these steps to help customers rollback:
- Got to https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-amazon-payments-advanced/advanced/
- Scroll down to the bottom, select the previous working version from the dropdown list and then click download.
