 * Reverting the database seems to not yield the desired outcome, I have tried following
   procedure:
 * 1. make changes and commit (with Backup database). in the dashboard I see two
   commits in Dashboard events:
 *     ```
       Committed #2f26d70 to the local repository. 2 mins ago
       Successfully backed up the database. 2 mins ago
       ```
   
 * 2. make more changes, which include changes in the database and to the filesystem.
   I will want to revert these in the next step.
 * 3. in “Commits” I choose to “View” the last commit -> “Revert to this Commit”-
   > “Revert files and database” -> Revert. As the result there are 4 new events:
 *     ```
       Successfully imported the database. 	1 min ago
       Successfully backed up the database.	1 min ago
       Successfully reverted the database to a previous commit. Undo	1 min ago
       Reverted to commit #2f26d70.	1 min ago
       ```
   
 * However, only the filesystem changes made in step 2 have been reverted – the 
   database changes remain as they were despite the events are suggesting that the
   db has been reverted
 * Is there anything wrong with my procedure? If not, what other info should I provide
   for better debugging?

 * Hello,
 * This seems strange. Can you paste over the debug info from the “Help” tab in 
   the settings?

 * Thanks for the info. Everything on that side of things looks OK.
 * Does reverting the database through the “Commits” page/listing or by just clicking“
   Revert Database” work, or is none of that working for you either?

 * Hi, none of the two options are working for me, in both cases – whether I 1. 
   expand the commit from Commits page and click “Revert to this Commit” choosing“
   files and databse” option or 2. from the Commit page click “Revert Databse” without
   expanding the commit, in both cases the but the databse isnt reverted. In first
   case the filesystem changes do get properly reverted.
 * I will upgrade to the latest version of the plugin, but sinse your release notes
   did not mention anything related to that problem I assume its going to be as 
   it is. By the way I am using wordpress 4.1 and revisr 1.9

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the info. I didn’t explicitly make a fix for the issue in the latest
   version, but do recommend staying updated whenever possible.
 * Can you please confirm if the backups are working, and if so, if reverting the
   DB seems to revert the backup files?
 * Just trying to figure out where down the line this is failing so we can get this
   working for you. Thanks!
