 * Download and unzip a fresh copy of WordPress to your computer. FTP to your site
   and delete and then re-upload the wp-includes and wp-admin folders from the fresh
   copy of WordPress on your local drive.

 * Thx I’ll give that a shot. I have to try and recover the old data first. Do you
   happen to know how to revert bac to the old version? I at least need to see if
   I can get to my blog at all in that version to retrieve the data.
