Another way to download older plugin versions from wordpress.org is by using WP-CLI:
First, you need to know the plugin slug, in this example, I will use the YoastSEO plugin that has a slug wordpress-seo
Then using wpcli first uninstall the current plugin version:
wp plugin delete wordpress-seoand then install a specific older version of the plugin:
wp plugin install wordpress-seo --version=5.3 --activateWas this post helpful?
