If a WordPress update fails and certain plugins stop working, you can follow these steps to restore your WordPress site:
Restoring WordPress after a failed update – 4 steps!
- First, create a backup of your current state (before anything else goes wrong!)
- Download an older release of WordPress (the last version that was working properly)
- Start an FTP program that allows you to view and edit your site’s data
- Delete the current WordPress installation, and manually upload the older version of WordPress (see the image above for reference)
Please note that restoring an older version of WordPress should be done with caution, and it’s always best to have a backup of your site before attempting any major changes.
