 * The last time I updated WordPress on `www.gettingaffairsinorder.com` there was
   a glitch. The site went down. Someone at Godaddy then uploaded WordPress manually
   and it’s working except when you click on “Updates.” I get the error>

   > Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /home/
   > content/g/e/t/gettingaffairs/html/wp-admin/update-core.php on line 405
 * Was it possible some files were not uploaded and if so what do I need to do to
   make it work right again. I’m worried about the next update.

 * I think so, yes.
 * Try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) again, access your
   server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients), or a file 
   manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your
   copies of everything on the server **except** the `wp-config.php` file and the`/
   wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.
 * Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget 
   to delete the original files before replacing them.
 * Once that’s, done visit `/wp-admin/upgrade.php`
 * This will both replace all core files with fresh copies and update you to 4.4.1.
