SOLUTION: WordPress Critical Error after updating it

Complete Details of the problem. Don’t panic. All safe! UPDATE: Softaculous+iFastNet have updated their records, so you can update WordPress directly from there! It’s an internal WordPress Error, not related to Dashboard, plugins or themes. I observed that many people here on the forums are encountering the same error. Even if your PC is shut or not, the update will fail. Softaculous has not updated their existing WordPress records, so it shows that you are already using the latest wordpress…

Upgrade wordpress to an older version using Softaculous, just override the things, expect the database

Thanks for the reply
by following the steps to recover my website I have downloaded the SQL backup.
BUT
The next step is unclear for me which is ; “Upgrade wordpress to an older version using Softaculous, just override the things, expect the database”

Can you please guide me about how to do that in softaculous step by step? just like you told about SQL backup step by step…In this way it will be much more easy for me to follow…

I was restoring my website through softaculous and it showed me this message;

The following errors were found :

• File /home/vol6_6/epizy.com/epiz_26185859/htdocs/files for your website should be uploaded here! already exists and is write protected
• There was some error while unzipping the backup files

I also tried to re-upload the file and it is showing this message;

The following item exceeds the maximum upload size (128.0 MB) by your server configuration.
wp.26_40608.2020-09-08_04-16-04.tar.gz (322.1 MB)

so what should I do? please guide me because my website has been totally broken due to updating it to 5.5.1 and now I want to restore it to previous one

@dearknowledge, You need to manually update WordPress from your FTP client. Follow this guide (make sure your on the “Manual Update” section) and you’ll be on a straight path in no time!
