 * It sounds like the automatic update didn’t complete properly, and your site is
   missing a few files.
 * The best remedy for this is to perform a [manual update](https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress),
   and ensure that all of the files are FTP’d to the server (but _not_ the `wp-config.
   php` file or the `/wp-content` folder).
