 * Try:
    – switching to the default theme automatically by renaming your current
   theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder
   name using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and the
   wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress.
   Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the
   new ones.
 * – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

 * Hey there,
 * Does the error still happen with all plugins deactivated?
 * I really wouldn’t recommend downgrading WordPress as that will likely cause more
   harm than good.
 * A similar problem has been reported on [WordPress Trac](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37721),
   our bug filing platform. The fix will be included in 4.6.1
 * You could apply[ the changes](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/38277)
   from there on your site to see if it fixes the issue, i.e. add `if ( is_wp_error(
   $object_terms ) ) { return $object_terms; }` on that one line in `wp-includes/
   taxonomy.php`. _Not_ `wp-includes/functions.php`, but those two are related.
 * Feel free to test this change and reply on the ticket if the change fixes your
   issue.

 * The change didn’t work for me, although I wasn’t able to find the second file
   listed. I made the change only to taxonomy.php. Where’s the other file located?

 * My problem was that apparently during the update, the index.php file in the root
   directory had it’s permissions changed to 666, and that’s too open for WordPress
   to work. I changed it to 644, and poof, back on line.

 * The site itself is back on line, still can’t get access to admin…

 * Last update – turns out that many of the files (almost all) in the wp-admin directory
   had permissions changed to 666. Changed them all to 644, and I’m now able to 
   get into the WordPress backend.
