Is it possible to delete the web address from the beginning of this post?

Thanks Bernbe. Got the hosting to reinstate a backup. Now can rebuild from there.

Ok thanks. I HUGELY appreciate your help thus far. I will have to come back to this as I have to work on something else and will need to set time aside to fix the issue – it is more complex that I thought.

Um so in the hosting Cpanel, is the File Manager diff to the FTP accounts? I can download files through the File Manager > Web Root (public_html/www)

But going to FTP accounts, it looks like I need to download a separate program.

Sorry ignore my last post. ?? I see you said 3.5.1,

Version 3.5 or 3.5.1? Sorry, this is beyond my technical expertise.

I only have an XML back up from July 2014 and a list of the plugins used.

Are you saying to use the backup wizard in the cpanel of the hosting? Or downloading all the files on the FTP?

Appreciate your help thus far.

ANOTHER OPTIONS
Someone else suggested it is a virus if a file has one missing?

Ok I have deactivated plugins temporarily by renaming the folder wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins.HOLD

I have readded line 140 to wp-settings.php

Thanks Bernbe01. Version is below. I will take the first step you mentioned.

application/x-httpd-php version.php
PHP script text
<?php
/**
* The WordPress version string
*
* @global string $wp_version
*/
$wp_version = ‘3.5.1’;

/**
* Holds the WordPress DB revision, increments when changes are made to the WordPress DB schema.
*
* @global int $wp_db_version
*/
$wp_db_version = 22441;

/**
* Holds the TinyMCE version
*
* @global string $tinymce_version
*/
$tinymce_version = ‘358-23224’;

/**
* Holds the required PHP version
*
* @global string $required_php_version
*/
$required_php_version = ‘5.2.4’;

/**
* Holds the required MySQL version
*
* @global string $required_mysql_version
*/
$required_mysql_version = ‘5.0’;

I tried deleting line 140 on /home//public_html/wp-settings.php and this didn’t fix things.
