Downgrade to Any WordPress Plugin or Theme VersionThere are some rare cases where WordPress themes and plugins need to be running at an older version number, due to various technical reasons like the server’s PHP version, inter-plugin dependencies, deprecated or older code in the current frontend theme.

Constants are a type of identifier, that like a variable holds a value. The
