How to change the database version on the WP website

1. Login to your database

Gaining access to your database will depend on the host.

2. Select the wp_options table

Once you’re logged in, you should see a list of tables. Select or edit the wp_options table. 

3. Find the db_value

Scroll down to find the db_value. There will be numerical values in that fieldtable. 

4. Connect to your server with FTP

Use your credentials to connect to the server

5. Find the $wp_db_version value

It’s in the root folder, which is generally public_html although it might be different for your site. Go to public_html > wp-options > version.php . Find the $wp_db_version. 

6. Edit the version.php file

If the $wp_db_version value and db_value match, you’re good to go. If not, change it the values on the version.php file.
