 * Hello, is it possible to download somewhere device-theme-switcher plugin v.2.3?
   I unfortunatelly lost the plugin by updating some other plugin and cant move 
   to WP 3.9.1 until I will clear out the version problem with other plugins. I 
   do have WP 3.8.1 now and I am not sure if device-theme-switcher v.2.8 will work
   with WP 3.8.1.

 * Previous versions of any WordPress plugin can be located in the ‘Developers’ 
   tab: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/device-theme-switcher/developers/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/device-theme-switcher/developers/)
 * That said, DTS will work with any version of WordPress above WordPress 3.0

 * Hi James,
    do you recommend to delete DTS plugin folders before reinstalling 
   DTS and/or drop the tables for DTS in DB?

 * If you can, please update the plugin using the built-in WordPress plugin update,
   when you’re prompted to. That’s the recommended install/update procedure.
 * If you do need to manually update, you need only replace the exiting wp-content/
   plugins/device-theme-switcher directory with the contents of the plugin download
   available here on [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)
 * No database edits are ever required on your part. The plugin code does all this
   for you–even if you manually update by overwriting the files as described above.

 * My problem was resolved by manual reinstallation. I had to first manually delete
   the wp-contect/plugins/device-theme-switcher folder as reinstallation did not
   work without this step. The folders structure remained existing in the wp files
   tree structure after previous try to update DTS to version 2.7 automatically.
   This process failed for to me unknown reason and deleted plugin from wp plugin
   tab. The files of pluging remained on disk and blocked new manual reinstallation.
   Therefore the steps named above were necessary before new manual installation.
   After manual reinstallation, the setup of DTS appeared to be OK as previously.
   It was probably pulled from DB, which was not touched during all above named 
   steps….
