I’ve mixed your great solutions and testing until it worked!

1. Check the installed WordPress version
2. Rename the folders wp-admin and wp-includes to: xxxwp-admin and xxxwpincludes
3. Download the original installation WordPress files and upload to the root domain folder: /wp-admin and /wp-includes
4. In the root, your .htaccess must content only:

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>`
`
* At this point, your wordpress dashboars must work!

But, if you notice, you have a lot of .htaccess includes into each folder, right?

I’ve compressed all the website files, (in my cpanel/file manager) and downloaded to my local PC

Once i’ve downloaded and uncompressed, using Windows File Manager, i’ve search for “.htaccess” I’ve removed all the unwanted. In my case I’ve deleted around 1800 .htaccess. DO NO DELETE THE .HTACCESS in the Root file updated in the Step 4.

Once it’s cleaned, compress all and upload it to your server.

Delete all the existing files and only left the .ZIP file containing the cleaned version.

Uncompress and voila!

Site Working and cleaned.

Good Luck!
