    Earlier today I attempted to upgrade one of the websites I manage to the newest version on WordPress. Shortly after clicking the update button I noticed that the update failed and was unable to complete.

    Now when I go to my website I get this error, on every single page. Even the wp-admin page.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ')' in /home/content/47/12328247/html/wp-includes/load.php on line 361

    I have deleted the .maintenance file and that didnt change anything.
    I have deleted the update folder and that didnt change anything.
    I have edited the load.php file to include define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); and I still get the same parse error when I attempt to navigate to /wp-admin/maint/repair.php

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide on this error. I would like to get this website back up and running as soon as possible.

    Try a manual update. Download the latest version of wordpress , unzip it, and then manually upload and replace all the files on the server with the updated ones, making sure to *NOT OVERWRITE* the wp-config.php file or the wp-content folder. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update for details.

    Thank you so much for your advice! I downloaded the newest version of WordPress and pushed all the files except those you mentioned to the server with FileZilla and the problem has been solved!

    I really appreciate your advice. You have no idea how much you just helped me! Thanks again my friend!!! 🙂
