I had the same problem, with two updates on two different domains, but with different files giving the errors. It even caused my server control panel to crash, twice!

I had to restart the Plesk control panel on my server, and then performed manual updates via FTP of WP and both sites worked fine.

I used the auto update before this with no problems, but never again!

If I type ‘https://interiordesignbusiness.net/’ into my browser it brings up your blog ok.

The page displayed from your link above says your database does not need upgrading – I assume you have since done this successfully?

Looks like it’s working ok to me now…

If you do decide to ‘cut and paste’ your previous posts and re-insert them, you can change the dates on them back to the original ones easily in the ‘Post Timestamp’ section of the post editing page.

Not much help I know, but I had this with a theme I once tried (can’t remember which one), except it would put the smiley at the start of the next line! – So I assume it must be a problem with the themes files somewhere.

I have had the same problem and found that I had to create the new folder(s) using my server control panel (Plesk 8.1.1) – I use WS-FTP and although this says the folder is ‘777’, my control panel told me different!

One year on (nearly to the day) and this post still helped me…
My database also suddenly gave the same error – I just went to MyPHP Admin and into the MySQL database table, and selected the entry ‘wp_posts’ and selected ‘repair’ – 5 seconds later it all worked!
