    Hi all,

    Today I did press the automatic upgrade button as always. Everything worked as with any other upgrade, except the part, where it wants to update the database. Since I don’t have mysql 5.0 I’m stuck.
    I know it is very stupid to upgrade without a correct mysql version, but i totally missed out on the news that i needed 5.0 in order to make wordpress 3.2 to work.
    So here is the obviouse question, since my site is still working correctly, is there a way to undo the upgrade steps?
    with kind regards,
    M

    Do you have a pre-upgrade database backup?

    Yes, I did make a complete backup before hitting the button with ezpz backup.

    I’d suggest:

    1. Create a new database and restore your backup into the new db.
    2. Upload all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress 3.1.4
    3. Make a copy of your wp-config.php file for safekeeping, then amend the copy on the server to point to the new database.
