Fatal Error on /WP-admin Dash but site still works (I disabled all plugins too)

  • My site was working fine the other day now all of a sudden the /WP-admin login page gives me a fatal error.

    The strange thing is when I go to my URL it works if I hit refresh a few times.

    I logged in via FTP and disabled all plugins and even switched to a default theme but the problem still persists. I’m guessing I have to edit the /wp-includes/http.php but I dont know what to edit it to.

    no, DO NOT edit any core files.

    Manually reinstall WordPress.

    Download a fresh copy from www.ads-software.com.
    unzip it locally.
    upload the resulting files and directories to the “public” directory on your server.

    Okay, before I do. Will that delete any of my content?

    I’m guessing I can do this via FTP?

    EDIT: watching a tutorial on youtube one step says to go to Tools>export> save all content.

    I am unable to do that step because my dashboard is not working. Can I do this via FTP? If so, where?

    It will not affect your content. upload via FTP. The tutorial you referenced is irrelevant.

    Would you happen to have a tutorial I can follow to achieve such tasks?

    Download a fresh copy of WordPressfrom www.ads-software.com.

    I fixed it. I just downloaded WordPress, and pulled the file out (http.php) and replaced the broken file.

    Cool. That was lucky that you got it with one file, but there you go!
