Hi,
To roll back a WordPress core update, you’d need to *both*:
1) roll back the database backup
and
2) unzip a fresh copy of WordPress core, and upload it via FTP into your webspace to replace the files of your current version – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
Doing only 1) will mean you still have WP 4.5 – which will then notice that your database is from a previous WP version, and offer to update it.

Hi David,
i don’t know how i could have missed your reply then. It was, for sure, a major disaster but the Kourse Theme support was also trying to assist.
This is where we now stand as of aug 29, 2016:
– The site is up and running and looks good.
– BUT Kourse DEV suppport, which we paid for, said then that the issue was with Visual Composer, and after digging deeper, they said they had to withdraw support. They couldn’t work with VC any longer.
– So, needing the site asap, we opted for going with the 4.5 WP version.
– We still have a sight which we are nervous about keeping up to date. Afraid any changes, updates or additions will break it.
– Do you know of or have any record of the problems with VC and Kourse or other themes? I could find no other documentation on this issue.
– What are our options?
— Can we now safely update?
— Is Kourse still being maintained? If not, why is it still being presented as an option?
— Can we upload our content into a similar theme?
— Which themes have a similar functionality?
thank you so much for your support!
cheers –
cathy
