Broken multisite after failed upgrade and restore

    Hi,
    after years of delay, I decided to upgrade my multisite version of WordPress to the latest one. I downloaded the Italian version of of WordPress here

    https://it.wordpress.org/download/

    created the backup of my website and database according to the instructions (https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/updating-wordpress/) and started the upgrade.
    I must confess I skipped the deactivation of the plugins, but a couple of weeks ago I successfully upgraded a very old WordPress site after 8 years to the latest one even if I forgot to disable the plugins first also on that occasion.

    At any rate, after deleting and copying the files correctly, I unsuccessfully tried to go to the admin page of my site (500 error) – I used the wrong adress though, mywebsite/wp-admin instead of mywebsite/wp-admin/network, but I realized this afterwards – so I panicked and tried to restore the old site, also unsuccessfully.

    I tried to re-update WordPress again and got an error about connection to Database. I added this line

    define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);

    to my wp-config.php and when I access the page mywebsite/wp-admin/maint/repair.php I saw that these 2 columns could not be found:

    wp_options: Table ‘Sql598794_1.wp_options’ doesn’t exist
    wp_blogmeta: Table ‘Sql598794_1.wp_blogmeta’ doesn’t exist

    I am pretty sure I saw the wp_options column earlier in myPhpAdmin because I was looking for the active-plugins, but now I cannot after my Database restoration of the backup failed with the error

    1146 – Table ‘Sql598794_1.wp_5_posts’ doesn’t exist

    I apologize for the mess, but could you please advise what could I try to do to restore the multisite functionality? Thanks in advance.

    Then delete the plugin to make any progress at all. If everything else works again, you can reinstall it and if it causes problems again, contact their support.

    Yes, I managed to open the back-office now and for all the 4 blogs available.
    I also managed to visualize 3 blogs out of 4 correctly, at first glance at least. The 4th one is still giving me an error and it does NOT get rendered.
    Here is the debig.log output

    due to another plugin, wordpress-hit-counter.
    And I guess the most used theme, weaver-ii is kinda obsolete.

    That’s a lot of messages that can all apparently be traced back to real, ancient plugins.

    E.g. “WordPress Hit Counter” – is 12 years old and not compatible with the PHP version. There is no update for this either: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-hit-counter/ – I would delete it.

    The “Weaver II” theme is also ancient. It was discontinued by the developer some time ago: https://weavertheme.com/why-weaver/ – here you can actually only choose a new theme.

    Yeah, I deactivated the hit counter plugin on the network and I am planning to switch to some other theme, perhaps even WordPress default ones, to avoid this kind of situation where ancient plugins and/or themes can disrupt the website.
    Once I switch the theme, I could probably switch to php 8.2.
    Thanks for your help, I still need to wander through the blogs to see if it’s all in order, but I guess we can resolve the ticket.
