   see my website or log into admin.

 * Hi,
 * While updating WordPress manually it is important to delete your old wp-includes
   and wp-admin folder.
 * – Delete old wp-includes folder and upload the new wp-includes of WordPress 4.0
   –
   Also delete your wp-admin folder and upload new wp-admin folder

 * 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).

 * Sorry, a bit slow on the draw, I see someone else is already helping with similar
   advice at [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-and-fatal-error-after-manually-updating](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-and-fatal-error-after-manually-updating)
