The issue has been brought up several times before – every update of the plugin, the previous version is removed/deleted? This breaks any integrations that programmatically install specific versions of specific plugins. After current update the last one seems to have been removed – again. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-stop-removing-old-versions-from-the-wp-repo/ https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-is-removed-every-update/ Hi programmin , Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concern. We remove older versions of the plugin from the WordPress repository for security reasons . Each time we release an update, the previous version is removed to ensure that only the latest, most secure, and stable version is available for download. We understand this may affect setups that rely on specific versions, but this practice helps protect users from potential vulnerabilities in outdated releases. If you need to discuss integration compatibility or a specific use case, please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@duplicatepro.com . We’ll be happy to assist. This happened today for everyone that has a wpcli or other installation process set to install specific versions. WP cli call to install 4.5.7 fails, because it is removed. I see it’s security update, but this happens every update .
