I deleted a handful of core WordPress files while cleaning up the server and the site ([login to view URL]) now shows the “There has been a critical error on this website” message on both the front-end and wp-admin. Unfortunately, I don’t have any usable backup to roll back to. What I need is a swift, clean restoration of the missing core files—ideally by replacing only what’s absent—without touching the database, themes, or plugin data. You’re free to work through cPanel, FTP, or SSH; whatever gets the site online fastest while keeping content intact. Deliverables • Public site and dashboard load without PHP errors • Core WordPress files fully restored and verified • Posts, pages, media, theme customisations, and plugins remain untouched • Brief summary of actions taken plus a simple backup & prevention recommendation Please include your estimated turnaround time and any access details you’ll require so I can provide them right away.

Hello, I have read your description and I understand what you are expecting. 1. Can you confirm if the missing core files were deleted from the wp-includes or wp-admin directories? 2. Are there any specific customizations or configurations within the core files that need to be retained during the restoration process? I know very well that it is difficult for you to decide to post a job, because money is not water; it comes from your blood and effort. If a developer does not understand this and does not treat the project as his own, the project will not be successful. I can, and absolutely will, respect and value your investment, and I will do my best for this project. Best regards, Yurii

Hey, I am ready when you are.✅ I’ve worked on something very similar. What really matters here is the delicate process of restoring core WordPress files without affecting database, themes, or plugins. The tricky part is ensuring a swift restoration while keeping the site intact. I recently handled a similar situation for a client where core files were accidentally deleted. By carefully identifying missing files and replacing them individually, I was able to restore the site without any data loss. If I haven’t done this exact scenario, I’ve successfully resolved similar technical challenges by focusing on precision and minimal impact. Let's discuss more details! -Dorofii

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hi there, The site shows a fatal error because core WordPress PHP files were deleted, causing missing function/class calls during bootstrap (root cause: incomplete core file set). Solution (2 steps): 1) Verify site PHP version and replace only missing/modified core files from the matching WP release via SSH or FTP. 2) Run integrity checks, enable WP debug briefly, confirm front-end and /wp-admin load, then remove debug. I restored a client’s site after accidental core deletion by reinstalling matching core files and resolved errors within 3 hours without touching their DB or themes. Suggestion: set automated nightly backups and file-change monitoring. Would you prefer cPanel/SSH access or an SFTP account for immediate start? Do you prefer to provide cPanel, SSH, or SFTP access (and do you have the site’s WordPress version or phpinfo output available)? Best regards, Bohdan
