 * I was doing updates when I got this error message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_removable_query_args() in /home/content/
   52/11152552/html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 900
 * So now I cannot login to my site.
    Any suggestions?

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)(
   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](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   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).

 * So I still cannot login into my wordpress dashboard.
    I tried renaming my active
   theme folders and then my plugin folders through my host file manager. I’m still
   getting this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_removable_query_args()
   in /home/content/52/11152552/html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 900
 * Any other recommendations are much appreciated before I reinstall WP.

 * 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.

 * Thanks James. I’ll give that a try.
