Of course, one of the most basic solutions would be recovering your website using a backup file. If you have c-panel, depending on you hosting plan, you go to files manager –> Back up and then search for a older version to recover the website. Usually, it can take up to 15 minutes to get your version running. If this did’t work or you don’t have this option on your hosting plan, just move to the next section.
Another possible solution can be replacing the WordPress original directory for a new, fresh one. In order to do it, go to the official repository at wordpress.org and download the latest version. Keep in mind that the version of the website you are trying to restore must match the one that you just downloaded. Once you have the directory on you computer, unzip the file, copy everything except the wp-options.php file.
