 * Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s
   folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name
   using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.
 * – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

 * Thank you!
 * But when I tried to re-uploaded all files and folders of new WP, I failed to 
   upload part near 449 files in wp-include. Why?
 * And another problem is, before I read your reply, I had already tried to re-upload
   all new WordPress files, including wp-content’s. 🙁
 * So, now the error massage is still there:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_query_template() (previously declared in /home/
   tweet/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php:745) in /home/tweet/public_html/wp-includes/
   template.php on line 30

 * Try deleting all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder, the root.
   htaccces file and the wp-config.php file on your site and then r-upload all files&
   folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Thank you! But why am I not able to delete the folders in wp-includes, such as
   css, images, js, pomo, text, theme-compat?
