Errors when trying to use widgets – After moving host

  • I moved from one host to another – the moving was pretty smooth, got the SSL running and everything.

    Problem is, when I try to access the widgets it gives me this error :
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_list_widgets() in /home/hairremo/public_html/wp-admin/widgets.php on line 393

    And when I try to access the customization it says : Fatal error: Call to undefined function next_widget_id_number() in /home/hairremo/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php on line 924

    Any ideas on what should I do?

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. 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.

    Thanks Tara!
    Tried disabling the plugins and changing the theme – didn’t work.
    Tried the manual update (or shall I say repair) – worked!

    Question though, how can I check that there are no problems with the files or something that got corrupted during this manual file change?
