Downgrade WordPress version

Metoo. 5.6 trashed my site.

Worse, my Google Drive restore keeps timing out, I know this because I get warnings that the restore file size is different (plugins dir is the main problem, only 70MB, uploads is much bigger) and each time I restore it’s a different size (fails at a different point). Manually copying the files to the updraft directory works OK, albeit takes forever of course. But then, despite all looking OK, still on 5.6, as OP reports.

Is there at least a variable to set the Google Drive timeout ? My webserver is Litespeed, but never had issues before, on either backups or restores.

PS I used the downgrade WP plugins to reinstall 5.5.3, then restored just the database again, now OK. But would appreciate a fix for Google Drive

Hi,

For us to check, can you please send us full copy of the restoration log?
You can find this log in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory of your site via FTP.
You can send the log file and copy the contents into an online tool (such as https://pastebin.com/ )

Best Wishes,

Hello,

Since I run into RAM issues with the server when I do a full restore at once I restore each section seperately. These are the logs:

Database:

Good Day!

For some reason WordPress Updated Automatically. I distinctly remember having my site set up to manually be updated. But, I also know I have had a few website designer’s working on my site since then. Either or since this WordPress 5.6 Update, my footer and header contents have disappeared, the slideshow/wheel for my store has disappeared and a few other issues. I just need to know how I can revert this update. I don’t have the time to fix every issue manually right now. Can someone please give me direct instructions on how to downgrade from this WordPress 5.6?

My Best,

Max

Since it didn’t work for me with the backup restore I used WP Downgrade plugin for now.
I just wondered why updraft didn’t bring it back with a database restore.
