 Hello,

 After updating the PHP version on my WordPress site, I encountered a fatal
 error that prevents me from accessing the admin login page. The error
 message is as follows:


 {{{

 Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "wpdb" not found in
 /home/mhd-01/www.xxxxxxxx.it/htdocs/wp-includes/load.php:428
 Stack trace:

 #5 {main} thrown in /home/mhd-01/www.xxxxxxxx.it/htdocs/wp-
 includes/load.php on line 428

 }}}


 I have tried the following steps to resolve the issue, but none have
 worked so far:
 1. Reverting back to the previous PHP version.
 2. Deactivating all plugins by renaming the plugins folder.
 3. Replacing the `wp-includes` and `wp-admin` folders with fresh copies
 from the latest WordPress download.

 Is there anyone who has experienced a similar issue or knows how to
 resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
