I need to downgrade from 5.9.9 to latest 5.8.x – where is the db instructions executed when upgrading?

“First time for me trying to downgrade a WP”

That would be one time too much…

I am actually not familiar with any software that you can downgrade (for many tools, the version is just misleadingly give the impression there is some incremental continuation while the truth is that it is a totally different product, a good example is all the versions of windows, they called windows but they don’t even look the same)

The only way to downgrade is to restore from backup, but then you will lose whatever DB changes that were made during the time. If there were only few changes, it is way safer to restore from backup and reapply the changes.

…. but at some point you will need to upgrade (and you are already several versions behind) so it might be more productive to figure out the problems and fix them now instead of kicking the can down the road 😉
