The first is getting erased by some function of WordPress, a plugin, or a theme. * I disabled a number of other plugins. One was a Legacy Ninja Forms (it might have been that one). So far, so good. The site has remained up for longer than I can remember and over 8 hours at this point. * I am running a lower version of PHP. I tried going to later version of PHP 7.4 and it didn’t stop the problem. I decided to go back to an older version that was working tried and true for now so as to not add additional variables. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress keeps breaking all by itself.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-keeps-breaking-all-by-itself/) * Thread Starter [salescart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeaholic/) * (@codeaholic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-keeps-breaking-all-by-itself/#post-15360551) * Yes, while broken. No effect or change. I don’t want it to upgrade to 5.9. It needs to stop. I believe I have set the wpconfig for it to stop doing that. So I’m not sure HOW it is self upgrading anymore. No software on earth should “self- upgrade” and I know of no software besides WP that does it. Even my iPhone warns me and allows me to delay and that is about the worse case before that I am aware of. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress keeps breaking all by itself.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-keeps-breaking-all-by-itself/) * Thread Starter [salescart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeaholic/) * (@codeaholic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-keeps-breaking-all-by-itself/#post-15359411) * I have tried renaming the plugins and the themes and that doesn’t do anything. For some reason WordPress keeps doing some kind of secret updating and breaks it self. I believe I have set the settings for it to STOP doing that. However, the setting must not really be 100%. * I believe the file it is complaining about is WordPress proper and not any plug- in or theme. * /wp-includes/sodium_compat/autoload.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php\pear’) in C:\ Domains\comcity.com\wwwroot\wp-includes\compat.php on line 333 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unable to edit pages on the backend](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-edit-pages-on-the-backend/) * [salescart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeaholic/) * (@codeaholic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-edit-pages-on-the-backend/#post-15335165) * Great.

I ended up having to back up my website and database. Then I manually updated to the previous version of WordPress.

I’m trying to switch it back to an earlier version before 5.9 when it was working. It tried to automatically update on 1/22/2022 and destroyed the site. * If you go there now, this is a TOTAL blank version of WordPress version 5.5.8.

I have logs on and errors on. The website appears to be crashing all over the place. * If I simply download the latest WP5.9 version and attempt to unzip the files into the website, what files do I need to back up, and/or make sure they don’t get overwritten. * I know wp-settings.php.
