   Seen numerous posts on this but no answer, can you uninstall it to an earlier version ? It has made my site difficult to use. Can't set dates or add new blog

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   Yes doesn't work - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   If it is a theme problem I really don't know what I will do - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

   I don't know what this means - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   Do you have a pre-upgrade database backup?

   If you do not have a pre-upgrade database backup, you cannot revert to an earlier version of WordPress. Your database was irrevocably changed during the 3.2 upgrade process.

   Did you try any of the suggestions I posted above?

    They should have a fool proof way like the plugins were you can install and deactivate.

    They do. You're supposed to deactivate all plugins, switch to the default theme & backup your database before upgrading.

    Thanks for the information you have been helpful,I meant more like a button you can push for a beginner in all things WordPress that says "Push here to undo thing we have been prompting you to do and then offer no alternative to undo it" :)

    Sorry - no. Unfortunately, it's not possible to add an Undo button for everything.
