Can you revert to an old version of WordPress?

  • I recently upgraded one of my blogs to version 2.5.1 and I couldn’t be less thrilled with this version. Does anyone know if it’s possible to go back to an older version?

  • Hey RenFromPenn,

    You can only go back if you have a pre-upgrade database backup and even then it’s not recommended.

    RenFromPenn,

    Yes, you can downgrade from 2.5 (I’ve done it), but you will have to reset passwords for all users that ever logged into the 2.5 installation. Alternatively, you can export the blog into a WXR file, back up your uploads directory, remove 2.5 entirely, do a fresh install of 2.3.3, restore the uploads, and import the WXR.
