    It seems that I have to do a fallback from 4.7 to 4.6.1

    I have a full backup of the filesystem, but I miss a backup of the database.

    Database upgrade was very quick. Do anyone know what was updated from 4.6.1 to 4.7

    Different DB version:
    4.6.1 DB Version = 37965
    4.7 BD Version = 38590

    Would it be enough to change db_version from 38590 to 37965 and restore the old files?

    And thanks for a quick answer

    Actually, update on this. My mistake, I missed a line of code.

    The database WAS altered, but not in a breaking way.

    The post_password field was updated to be expanded from 20 characters to 255 characters. This allows for longer passwords on individual posts.

    As this is simply a field size increase, it is not a breaking change and so it is backward compatible.

    Thank you both – wordpress downgraded successfully.

    Now I just want to do a successful upgrade.

    Automatic update isn’t an option as the timing window is too short
