PHP 8 Error + Manual WordPress Update Error

[Dominik Gauly]

Hi team,

http://dominikgauly.com/
http://www.dominikgauly.com/wp-admin/

My site and wp-admin site were both not available and were showing a fatal error due to PHP 8.

I manually updated wordpress as shown by my provider One.com:
https://help.one.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005585989#step-1

Now I get the following error message:
“Warning: require(/customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-includes/version.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-settings.php on line 33 Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-settings.php:33 Stack trace: #0 /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-config.php(96): require_once() #1 /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-load.php(50): require_once('/customers/e/d/...') #2 /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-blog-header.php(13): require_once('/customers/e/d/...') #3 /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/index.php(17): require('/customers/e/d/...') #4 {main} thrown in /customers/e/d/2/dominikgauly.com/httpd.www/wp-settings.php on line 33”

So I guess I did something wrong even though I followed every step in the guide.

Please help. Best,

also this seems like there are files required that may not exist

please contact your webhost

you could also just go back to a php 7.4
