I restored my site from backup and now can't access forum. I get this message in the forum admin "
It appears you are attempting to downgrade your Simple:Press Version. The Build or Version number in the sp-control.php file is lower than the currently installed version in the database.
You must restore your database to this earlier version before you can continue. You cannot simply downgrade Simple:Press files as the database has been upgraded beyond the version you are attempting to downgrade to and may cause irreparable damage to the database." I have no idea how to fix this.

if you restore the db, you need to restore the old version too... the database version cannot be newer than the version of the software...
this is because the db has already been upgraded to any new db schema of the new version... going to old version, may cause significant problems... so its disallowed...
you can check your db version in the sfoptions table, option key of sfversion...
you can check your code version in wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-control.php

My db version is 5.5.3 and the code version is 5.5.1. Do I need to change the version on the server to 5.5.1
Offline
No, you need to put the 5.5.3 code version in your wp plugins folder... it needs to match the db schema/version... code version 5.5.1 is several versions old...
If you had a db backup from when you were running 5.5.1, you could restore it.... but would use caution on this...

Can you explain how I do this. Where do I get the get the 5.5.3 version and where in the folder to I put it?

just go to the wordpress dashboard updates... you should see simple press update listed there... its where wp updates itself, plugins and themes...
alternately, you could download it from our download page and upload via ftp to your wp plugins directory...
the former is easier...
