    HI, We have to downgrade woocommerce as some existing plugins and theme is not working properly on new version. I am unsure if the plugin also rolls back the DB changes that were done when I upgraded to latest woocommerce version?

    So there is a dialog that appears after upgrading woocommerce asking to update the data base. And we did update the database when we upgraded to woocommerce. Now if I downgrade (from rollback app) will it also downgrade/rollback the changes that were done to the DB while upgrading?

    No, WP Rollback only allows you to switch the physical files of the plugin/theme to a different version. It does not take a snapshot of your entire environment or your database like a traditional backup solution.

    For that we suggest using Backup Buddy.

    Keep in mind that often plugin authors — like WooCommerce — will create new database tables, but the old ones will still be available as well. So if you revert WooCommerce back to a previous version your old values in the old tables might still be present so there’s some things you can still work with in that circumstance. But that’s why it’s vital to have a database backup (via Backup Buddy) so you can easily revert those changes back and forth as well.

    Best of luck!
