 * Is there a way to undo updates? My theme, The Journal, was working perfectly 
   until I updated it.
 * The new post box, hyperlinks, and the new features and other facets are not working
   properly.
 * How would I undo these to revert back to version 3.1.3?
 * Thank you

 * Do you have a pre-upgrade database backup?

 * Do you have any database backups? You can’ rely on your hosts for these, They
   should be database backup files that either you made manually or were made by
   a backup plugin that you installed & activated.

 * If I reinstall my WordPress The Journal theme would that revert it back to the
   original form without the updates?

 * Your theme has nothing to do with what version of WordPress you are running.

 * Do you know if there is a way to download or revert back by uploading anything?
   Sorry for the seemingly mundane questions but the latest updated version is crappy
   to be honest.

 * Could I upload this onto my site?
