I have found this support thread which seems to correspond to my issue. I have raised a query there to see if anyone there has any ideas.

Upgraded to 4.4.1 via dashboard and then manually about 5 times now deleting wp-admin and wp-includes before manual uploading. I have checked the wp-settings file and find that “Line #186 should read:
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-wp-widget.php’ );” is there – I am not using wp-cli and am getting this fatal error:-

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found in /websites/123reg/LinuxPackage21/be/au/ty/beautyandmassagewithameelie.co.uk/public_html/wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-pages.php on line 17

I also host with 123-Reg who are being incredibly unhelpful regarding this.

I am not a developer.

Any suggestions?

I have no idea how to do this. I am not a developer. I have no access to the dashboard. Can this be done via Filezilla?

Hosting provider are being completely unhelpful TBH and I am extremely frustrated ??

Tara I have done a manual update from a a fresh copy of the wordpress zip file and deleted the wp-admin and wp-includes before uploading them via FTP!!! I have done this now more than once!!! IT DOES NOT WORK!!!

Have re-uploaded wp-includes again and still no luck ??

Nope none of the above worked either ??

Thanks Tara, I have already tried that also. Any other ideas?

It’s happening with every way around trying to get new plugins it seems!! ??

Hope they get sorted soon!

Me too! I think there is a problme Houston!!!

Please fix asap!

Thanks
