I received the following warning. How do I restore my database to an earlier version?
I am not technical so appreciate the instruction!
Thanks,
Darren
Downgrade Warning
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 restored my earlier version with mysql backup.
I installed the most recent version of simple press (for the error above, I tried installing an older version)
Now I get this error... any idea on what to do?

It might simply be because you are allowing notices and warnings (and probably errors) to be displayed on the screen. This really is a very bad thing to do and not recommended by anyone. I would personally ask your host to put in place the recommended error log file, remove from the display and then see if the upgrade goes through.

I just made all the updates available for violaman.com/forum and received the same warning.

I don't want to downgrade, simply upgrade the database as I'm being directed to.

not sure what you are saying... are you trying to go down a version or upgrade?
if upgrade, go to the wp updater and update simple press if one available... if not, does the forum admin menu now consist of an upgrade link?

I always update never downgrade. I did all the updates and I received the warning that I pasted in the above post:

After clicking on the link to perform the upgrade I get the following message:

so in wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-control.php, what is the version listed?
also, please check your db, the sfoptions table for option name of sfversion, what does it have?

so your database is at 5.5.3, but the software version on the server is 5.5.2... hence the downgrade statement...
please download 5.5.3 version and upload to your server...
