Thanks I have been trying to follow your instructions to fix this problem, however, you may have vastly overestimated my expertise. I learned what PHP is and went to my GoDaddy database logged in through PHPMyAdmin but could not find any repair.
Downloaded the update of WP. Yet have no idea what a manual “upgrade” is or how to find or delete the wp-admin folder or copy up a new one from the zip in order to make fix this problem.
Your continued support and help is appreciated.
