  Since the last login the WP Dashboard is lit up with alerts to update the version to an older version. Chat says it’s either a cache problem or WP. The alert says “You can update from WordPress 6.8.3 to WordPress 5.8.3 manually:” this makes no sense to me. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to resolve are appreciated.

  Found it! Settings=> WP Downgrade=> “WordPress Target Version” said 5.8.3. I have no idea why. I changed it to 6.8.3 and everything is green once again.
