Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

Thanks for the advice I did that and got nowhere. I then renamed the wp_admin and wp_content files and relaoded them from the installation package and this is what I got
Warning: require(/home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-includes/load.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 21
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-includes/load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 21
I cannot get into WP admin at all now
Do I tear this whole thing down or start again
Thank

In those errors, you’re missing two critical files from wp-includes, possibly more.
Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything 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.

Thanks. I have done all that.
I also reset my database and wordpress back to its original state and then loaded my backups.
I deactivated all the plugins but now cannot get into the dashboard home. I get this message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 21
If I try to deactivate the plugins I get this set of messages

I am at my wits end. I seem to be circling the same problem all the time.

And that’s with all plugins reset following the guide linked to before?
Because that error is trying to load an ACF file, which would only happen if ACF was active.

I have deleted everything and reinstalled from scratch. ie unzip wordpress FTP it, create new dB
I sign in, get word press up and still cannot access the theme page.
I get the same error
All the old plug ins appear on the plug in page, but they are NOT in the plugin directory and WP will not let me delete them
When I click on the home page I still get this error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 21

Just add to the issue this appears on the plugin page
e/controllers/everything_fields.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/yasdipxr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/acf.php on line 360

Ok, perhaps ACF has some non-standard files.
At this point, I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
