Try:
– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
thanks guys. if i follow esmi’s advice will i loose all the customisations that i have done in my theme?
No. Your customisations should be safe.
ok, I am trying to reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel. I can do steps one and two, but I cannot do step 3 as my site still shows the fatal error. is step 3 via the wordpress dashboard? if it is I cannot access the dashboard
1. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
2. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
3. Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
4. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”
ok i’ve just tried to deactivate plugins by using phpMyAdmin and in the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) I do not have an active_plugins row
And the core files re-upload?
no i’ve not been able to deactivate the plugins

I’ve deleted the plugin folder and add a fresh folder after re-downloading wordpress. still get the same error.
As my error mentions wp-blog-header.php is it something to do with that file?
Download the WP 3.5.1 from wordpress.org Next extract the zip and upload the all files and folders except the wp-content folder via FTP.
ok, I think I have really messed my site up know changing a deleting files. In cpanel my disk space usage is over the limit. How do I reset everything on my site so that I’m back to the base of just having wordpress installed and I’ll start again.
