 Short summary of the problem: When error_reporting function is disabled on
 the hosting provider, it breaks admin area due to the fact that wp-admin
 /load-styles.php and wp-admin/load-scripts.php are triggering it without
 checking.

 Some work has been done to resolve the problem here
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52226

 Unfortunately it doesn't address the issue completely as it only adds
 checks to the wp-load.php file.

 Here is the great post that summarizes problem with error_reporting in WP
 for some additional context: https://phil.lavin.me.uk/2022/02/wordpress-
