Perhaps a plugin is much more valuable to you than WordPress, and you don&#8217;t want to give it up.<\/li>\n<li>Another reason could be an <strong>incompatible theme<\/strong>. Themes regulate the complete structure of your WordPress site, including <strong>pages, posts, header, footer, etc<\/strong>. Hiccups emerge on the site when a theme isn&#8217;t compatible with the latest version of WordPress, resulting in poor performance. However, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/basicwebguide.com\/how-to-customize-wordpress-theme\/\">customize the theme<\/a> according to the WordPress version instead of degrading WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Your WordPress site <strong>automatically upgraded<\/strong> to the latest version, but you won&#8217;t like it and want back to the previous version. Then you can easily get back the <strong>earlier version<\/strong> by following this simple guide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although the above are the <strong>top<\/strong> and most common reasons to downgrade your WordPress site yet, I suggest trying some other (and safe) routes to <a href=\"https:\/\/basicwebguide.com\/top-10-most-common-wordpress-errors\/\">fix WordPress errors<\/a> and glitches.
