In reply to: WP DowngradeWordPress needs to make restore points that work like ‘System Recoveries’ that restore your WordPress to the desired version/point in time, especially when it comes to installation updates that do not provide sufficient warning of making significant changes to a pre-existing website. Ostensibly, there is some sort of “restore” function in the new version of WordPress that does not restore previous website versions. It seems all too logical, so I am unclear why this option hasn’t been already been made available. Where has the focus on ‘user-friendly’ gone?…Alas, this might fall on deaf WordPress ears.
The key is to work on solutions, provide full disclosure of well-tested installation affects that is posted along with updates, and future prevention of such mishaps. All of our energies are better focused towards that end point.
Business owners should learn several lessons from how WordPress operates as well as its versatility issues. In the end, we are accountable to our businesses and not WordPress. Yes, it is annoying and revenue-impacting when the unexpected happens, but we must learn, deal with it, and make progress!

In reply to: website layout changed after 2 recent updates; need to change backThanks for getting back to me so quickly. I wrote part of my code and had a web developer help assemble my site, so I am not sure whether the original theme files were customized or a child theme was used.
I do have a back-up of my site files, so I hope that helps to resolve this situation. Please let me know what you recommend on how to restore my website to its original theme prior to the updates. Do the files need to get uploaded via WordPress and/or my web host company? Also, will re-loading my webpages cause me to lose all blog comments and press releases, too?
I appreciate your time and effort!
