 * Getting this line of error messages when I try and go to the wp-admin area of
   my site. Any suggestions would be awesome.

 * Go ahead and try replacing the core files. This might help you.
 * This video might help you in knowing how to replace the core files : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWk4Vb8-n54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWk4Vb8-n54)

 * So, go ahead and delete everything but the “wp-content” folder, and the “wp-config.
   php” file?
 * And then manually install wordpress?

 * Let me make it clear.
 * 1. First take the website files backup before making any changes.
    2. Download
   the wordpress zip file from [https://wordpress.org/download/](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   3. Upload the zip file to domain directory. If it is a primary domain then it
   would be public_html or www 4. Extract the zip file which you have uploaded 5.
   It will unzip the files in a folder called wordpress. 6. Go to wordpress folder
   and delete the folder wp-contents (you are deleting the folder which you have
   uploaded not of your website) 7. Move all the files from wordpress folder to 
   website directory. 8. Try accessing the admin page now
 * Hope these steps will help you in resolving the issue.
