Planning to downgrade my WordPress from 4.3 to 4.2.4

Why would you want to downgrade? What problems are you experiencing?

I would suggest watching this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lX3E-qIpJM

Hi Matt,

I’m facing many problems. And ya I have checked the video. But would it be safe?

Yes it would. Just make sure to make a backup of your website before you downgrade.

Is it a good idea?

No. I might or might not like every little or big change that comes along, but fixing bugs and keeping an installation working properly, well, safely and securely within an ever-changing-and-evolving hostile environment — the internet — is far beyond the ability of any single human being.

so did you restore 4.2.4? did it work safely? I need to for plugin compatibility issues

I’m with @leejosepho on this. Opening your site to now-widely known security vulnerabilities just to keep using a plugin or two that are not being kept up to date is never a good compromise. Unless you want to be compromised. There’s plenty of good plugins out there.

unfortunately the plugin is detrimental to the site, the site may as well not exist without this plugin, not my fault the author is too busy/lazy. I will just take soooo many backups that I can safely restore.
