Okay. I would like to test this in local first to see it myself before upgrading the live version. What is the best way to roll simple press back to 4.5.3 and start the process again.

Why would you need to? Just swap in the old backup database...

Also is there anything I can do to prevent the permissions issue prior to upgrading?
Well it's a bit of a complex code change. Too much to be able to post here as it touches quite a few places. Sorry about that. Really can't release it until 5.4.2...

Did you have to install simple press 4.3.5 on an old version of wordpress because at the moment it is taking a long time to install.

No _ I don't really see the point. if you install this all you are going to do is delete it again to replace it with the V5 plugin. The only thing that matters is the database. V5.4.1 of SP and the old V4 database - then upgrade.

attachment_id will be null as I said before. It is supposed to bre null until you start using and including attachments which you could not do in V4.

As to the inbox count - do you mean you know that you had unread PMs but the count is zero?
