 * I’m trying to add variable product data to woocommerce. I select variable product
   then add custom product attribute the box appears but I can’t select anything
   or type in selected name or value. I’m up to date with all software. This is 
   driving me mad

 * [@jenlew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenlew/) – sorry to say if you 
   have clicked the updater button in the message already, you can’t go back. It
   is always advisable to do a full backup prior to any updates.

 * @splashingpixels.com ugh. so to be clear so.. i’m just SOL and either change 
   the theme or work around the broken issue.
 * and you’re saying that if I deactivate 2.0.5 and install 1.6.6 products will 
   not be saved?

 * [@jenlew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenlew/) – when you clicked that
   update button, it showed you a message stating your DB will be updated to 2.0.
   So once you updated your DB, you can’t go back to non 2.0. It also ask for you
   to do a backup before updating. Not sure if you had done that.

 * I have a back up of the original install yes, but i entered the products after
   the update.
    do you have any options?

 * [@jenlew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenlew/) – sorry there is no other
   way. A backup should have been made prior to 2.0 update.
