Do you still have the site files and database used to migrate the site to your current host? If so, you probably have what you need to roll back your site on your own. If not, you can reach out to your host to ask if they have a backup of the site at anytime before the automatic updates were made.
In regard to the updates — custom-built WordPress plugins should not update automatically, so it’s probably just an issue of the custom plugin not being compatible with the latest version of WordPress, which may be easier to update than trying to find a backup file from your host. Or maybe not, it depends on what those plugins look like and the functionality they provide.
I only bring that up because you mention you’re currently in the process of having your site rebuilt, and your current developers may be able to review and resolve the plugin incompatibility issues.
Hi @savage84
Keeping custom developed things always causes pain 🙂
On one hand, it’s strange that your hoster upgraded WP during migration, but on the other hand, it’s unsafe to use outdated WP and plugins, it makes your website vulnerable.
I think you should contact hosting provider asap and ask if they have a backup of your website (if they created one before migration).
Thanks
I have contacted the new host. I have a copy of the website from before it was migrated so I could potentially use that.
I might look into how difficult it would be to get the plug in to work on the current version of wordpress.
Appreciate your help
I hope this plugin helps you go back to the WordPress old version- https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-downgrade/
