If for some reason you run into an issue when you upgraded WordPress, you can simply restore the backup that you made (you made one, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the issue is with WordPress core, and for example your theme does not (yet) support the new WordPress version, then it’s good to know there’s a downgrade plugin as well (there’s a plugin for everything nowadays!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that the most recent WP 5.5 version for example does not work too well with page builders, like Elementor and WP Bakery, so you might end up with a broken website and a lengthy restore process. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can always call for help with your web hosting company also, they should also have a backup for you. But you can try downgrading to the previous version also. Do you remember which one? Don’t worry, a little bit further down this page, you get to select it from a list, maybe it’ll come back to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even before you begin with fixing your issue, please realize that your issue can always get worse. So make another backup<\/a>. It’s better than nothing. Not every hosting company makes backups for you, and even if they do, you should always make your own backups, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your only 2 minutes away from restoring to an older WordPress version. Follow these steps after you created a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Install the plugin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Search for “wp downgrade” where you add the new plugin. This is generally \/wp-admin\/plugin-install.php?s=wp-downgrade&tab=search&type=term — click “Install Now”, then “Activate”.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBackup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
