 * In response to the [call for beta testers](http://wordpress.org/news/2011/01/wordpress-3-1-release-candidate-3/),
   
   I gave it a try. But now I can’t figure out how to get out of the development/
   beta upgrade track.
 * How I tried to get off: I de-activated the WordPress Beta Tester plugin. Somehow
   I managed to get off automatically nightly upgrades. I was sitting at WP 3.1 
   RC3. The bottom right corner of the admin screen had a “stay updated” link. I
   clicked on that and I got “update available”. I updated and now I’m running WP
   3.2-bleeding!!! Argh.
 * Any thoughts on how to get back to some stable release, and back onto the normal,
   i.e. non-developmental, upgrade track?

 * Got the same problem [here](http://www.uncleboob.com) and doent know if I can
   just downgrade to 3.1 RC3.
    The website works fine so far. But still I can’t 
   even find stuff about 3.2 bleeding. Can I just download RC3 when its final and
   released?
 * Thanks in advance

 * I’m going to try installing WP version 3.0.4, i.e. downgrade to the last general-
   use release. From what I understand, you need to be careful moving to older WP
   versions because installing a newer version may make changes to the WP database.
   Always back up your current database (plus export your content via the WP export
   for extra protection) before changing anything.
 * Here’s some [forum discussion on downgrading](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-downgrade-back-to-292-from-30?replies=24).
 * Having a graceful way to get off the development update track would be nice. 
   Especially when the WP news that appears on everyone’s admin panel encourages
   users to be beta testers.
