    I have a backup that was done on a WP v5.8 using Updraft plus’s unpaid version.

    I am trying to restore the files on WP v6.1 and it’s all successful BUT it downgraded WP to v5.8.

    The issue is that I’m self-hosting on Synology NAS and that doesn’t allow automatic upgrade to v6.1 yet.

    So my only option is manually install 6.1 and the restore the website.

    Is there a way to restore using Updraft without downgrading WP version?

    Thank you very much for any advice.

    Update:

    I tried manual restoration following the below guide, first wiped MariaDB database, imported DB from the previous DB export.

    After all that the site wouldn’t load due to some critical issue with the website – didn’t write down the exact message but it’s usually when the database is messed up.

    This is the guide I was referring to in the post above.

    Hi,

    UpdraftPlus will not downgrade the WP version unless you includes the WPcore files from your backup.

    Thanks,
