 * Just did the 2.8.1 auto upgrade. It completed but the new version has screwed
   up some custom code.
 * Is there an easy way to go back to 2.8?
    Is there anyway to go back? I can’t 
   afford to pay someone to straighten this out right now.

 * Restore your 2.8 files from your backup. If necessary download the 2.8 file from
   [http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/](http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/)
 * You shouldn’t need to restore the database.

 * If you are using cpanel, you will find some restore tools from where you can 
   rollback your site to a given time. R1soft Restore Backups is the perfect tool
   in cpanel. Try it.
 * Good luck
