Updating with the official WP-CLI console utility can come in handy if WordPress files are damaged or infected.

Install WP-CLI Utility.
Connect to hosting via SSH.
Start kernel updates by running the command:
```
wp core download --skip-content --force --path=/home/name_account/example.com/www/
```
- Instead wp indicate aliascreated during the installation in step 5, or the path to the installed file wp-cli.phar.
- Instead name_account substitute hosting account namein which the actions are performed.
- Instead example.com/www specify the path to the files of the required site.
- Key skip-content indicates skipping downloading of standard themes and plugins. If you also need to install them, remove it from the command.
