How do I go back to wordpress 3.5

can you restore a backup from your hosting company? it has only been a few days. most hosting companies will do a weekly restore..

if not,. you can’t do a “rollback” per se,. i have done this a few times and i think this is the easiest way.

create a subdomain and install the older version
(download the preferred version here:
http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

once your preferred version is installed:

in the dashboard of your current install “Tools” -> “Export”
“All content” will already be selected .. download it.

go to the new (older version) dashboard “Tools” -> “Import”
you’ll be prompted to install the plugin,. once done make sure you assign the posts to either new authors or all to yourself, and check the box to import all images (i think it say media but you’ll see it)

once your done remove the files and database of your old site – exept for the wp-cotent folder.. i keep that in case not all of the attachments came over. . extract that to the uploads folder of your new (old) install and your good.

move the site to the directory of your first install and you have effectively rolled back your wordpress website..

it is time consuming, and not suggested.
Good luck 🙂
