    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.

    I had the same exact problem again after a recent wp update to the site. I just deleted the wp-admin and wp-includes directories and this resolved the problem. Thanks for the advice, James. I hope this doesn’t keep occurring on every update.

    Are you using WordPress’s built-it updater from the Dashboard, or is it a third-party update system?
