Reverse my update?

  • i upgraded from 2.7 to 3.0 today. come to find out that the theme i am using has not been updated for 3.0. i am hoping this is the reason there are no posts anymore. how can i get it back to what i was using? i backed up my files through amazon s3 before starting if that makes a difference. thanks!

    with respect, doesn’t that page show how to upgrade to 3.0, not downgrade from 3.0?

    please tell me there is a simple solution to get things back the way they were before i upgraded.

    From that page:

    Can I Go Back to Old Versions
    You can, but it is usually not recommended to rollback (revert) your current version to an older version. That is because newer versions often include security updates and a rollback may put your site at risk. Second, the change between the database structure between versions may cause complications in maintaining your site content, posts, comments, and plugins that are dependent upon the information stored in the database. If you are still intent on this, proceed at your own risk. Please note, that without a backup of your entire site and your database, made prior to your upgrade attempt, a successful rollback is near impossible. Delete all WordPress files except for wp-config. Upload the files from your backup to your server and restore your database backup. Remember, you must have good backups for the rollback to work. For older WordPress versions, a rollback might not work.
