Going back to 1.5.1 | Forum

I updated to the 1.5.2, is there any way to go back to the previous version without a back up?
I'm asking because I will lose a lot of site activity if I restore from back up as I updated my site when it was released.

What I had to do was backup my database in the 1.5.2  (Open up the database using PhpMyadmin exported it to my computer) and  use cpanel file manager to compress the following directories

ow_pluginfiles
ow_plugins
ow_userfiles

Down load the zips to my computer

Uninstalled Oxwall

Did a fresh install of 1.5.2

Uploaded my zip file and expanded it


Open up the new database using PhpMyadmin

opened up each table and delete all the records if they contain any i then imported the table from the old database files.
 
That sorted the problem out completely
