Downgrade Back to v3

Asked by Dean Antalik 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Can I downgrade and go back to v3 without losing data? When I first installed v4 it seemed to work alright so I continued to work so my backup is missing whatever I have done since.

As I worked I started seeing issues with v4 (i.e. Accordian) and find I am spending far too much time trying to figure out how to do things in it that were easy and fast in v3.

I see now that upgrading was not good choice as this software is not ready to be released.

If it can be done please give me instructions on the procedure...

Hi

Thanks for contacting us. Note! Once you update to SP Page Builder 4.x from SP Page Builder v3.x, you can not roll back to SP Page Builder 3.x version. Make sure to test the page builder on a staging site and see if everything works as it should.

If I may add important tip.

If you made downgrade from SPPB 4.0 to SPPB 3.x - some pages that you edited using SPPB 4.0.x can be damaged becuase of different code structure between those. So I strongly recommend to recover database from the day before of SPPB 4.x installation. Or at least recover only table with prefix_sppagebuilder from that backup.

We cannot fix it, so this is the only way.

I copied a saved accordain to the page and just replaced the text. This works fine for now. It sounds like a person has to be a bit lucky to do the downgrade or roll-back and luck is not usually not on my side so I'm going to leave it alone for now. This website is very simple so I'll just figure how to work around the problems on this one but not make the same mistake on the next one.

Many thanks...
