Can’t access Dashboard

  • Hi

    I’m a super beginner. I tried to update my worpdress but something failed and I can’t access my dashboard since then. I get a critical error message and a debugging link. I disabled my Pluggin via my FTP to make sure it wasn’t a pluggin problem. Did not help. I did follow the instruction about debugging. Now I get the message below on my login page and I don’t know what to do with it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    Notice: Undefined variable: wp_version in /home/lookingf/www/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 920

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_favicon() in /home/lookingf/www/wp-includes/class-wp.php:664 Stack trace: #0 /home/lookingf/www/wp-includes/class-wp.php(738): WP->handle_404() #1 /home/lookingf/www/wp-includes/functions.php(1255): WP->main('') #2 /home/lookingf/www/wp-blog-header.php(16): wp() #3 /home/lookingf/www/index.php(17): require('/home/lookingf/...') #4 {main} thrown in /home/lookingf/www/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 664

    First off, try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. (NOTE: do not delete the?wp-content?directory or your?wp-config.php?file). Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! See https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/wordpress-backups/
