In this video, we’re going to downgrade wordpress to an older version. For more details visit http://thewiseaffiliate.com/tutorials/downgrade-wordpress-version/
To follow along, you’ll need to use an ftp program like Filezilla or your hosting file manager. It’s relatively easy to downgrade wordpress but if you run into any problems your welcome to contact me for help.
If you visit my blog link above, I also show you how to disable wordpress from automatically updating.
You can download any older version of wordpress from here https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

Hi, I have the lastest wordpress version and I'm having some problems with my theme probably because it's not compatible with the latest version of wordpress. I already have content in my site and the menus, footer, etc is also edited. How can I backup my site and just import it again after I downgraded my wordpress?

I was having problems with the Media Gallery so I thought I would downgrade as it once worked. I followed the video, and now its broke completely. Do NOT follow this….
It Works! Well done…
I did this and got stuck on the blank white screen after uploading the earlier version. Any tips?
Stop all updates before they happen automatically.
Updates can cause issues with your site + plugins can conflict or fail to work.
Add this code to your wp-config.php (listed in the single line below)
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
This will disable your WordPress to Auto Update.
Test your site in a another folder or localhost environment to see if there are any issues with the update.
You should have more likes and subs. Very helpful, thank you.
