Step 1: Replace WordPress files #Step 1: Replace WordPress files
Get the latest WordPress zip (or tar.gz) file.
Unpack the zip file that you downloaded.
Deactivate plugins.
Delete the old wp-includes and wp-admin directories on your web host (through your FTP or shell access).
Using FTP or your shell access, upload the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories to your web host, in place of the previously deleted directories.
Upload the individual files from the new wp-content folder to your existing wp-content folder, overwriting existing files. Do NOT delete your existing wp-content folder. Do NOT delete any files or folders in your existing wp-content directory (except for the one being overwritten by new files).
Upload all new loose files from the root directory of the new version to your existing WordPress root directory.

Okay, I see in the “more detailed instructions” part what I can do. If you’d read what I typed you’d know that was the link I was dealing with in the last two posts, but I managed to figure it out so that’s good.

The tutorial you sent includes steps that require me to log in, so I won’t be able to follow them.

I can’t do that, at least not by following the steps in the link you sent. Namely deactivating my plugins seems to require me to sign in. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another way, or if this step is not necessary but… this is why I’m asking for help.

I was able to follow those instructions to set a new password. However, when I log in I just recieve errors. I only know the password change worked because it spits out errors only if I type in the correct password.

When I go to https://www.musicforhypnotists.com/wp-login.php, I get the following errors:

Is there a way to fix this without logging in?

Ok, looks like I’ll have to do it via the database then. Thanks.
