Reverting Patchman Patches

In the unlikely event that Patchman's patches cause any adverse effect to your site, you can easily revert any of the patches it has made.

To do so, you first need to log into the Patchman dashboard by clicking on the Patchman icon in cPanel.

By default, the page will listing a maximum of 10 patches per page. If more than 10 patches were applied which needs reversing, use the drop down at the bottom right of the screen to display all the relevant patches on one page.

Place a tick in the box at the top left to select all the patches, and then with the Bulk Actions dropdown menu next to it, select 'Reverse'.

Patchman will then revert all of the patches applied.

What we'd recommend that you do then is to apply patches one by one, and re-load the site after applying each one. This will help identify the particular patch that may have caused an issue so that this can be reported to Patchman.

We recommend applying all the patches that you are able to to ensure that your site is as secure as can be.

Please note that your site will still be vulnerable to any patches that could not be applied, so it will be important to address these vulnerabilities by ensuring that your application is updated to a secure release.
