If you can share the wp-config.php file code, i can find the issue. It seems something wrong in the config file. share the config file code or at least Screenshot
Have a look in the wp-config.php file. You’ll find it using the control panel provided by your host (eg cPanel). Use the File Manager to check for the file in the same level as the /wp-content/ directory. Are there two lines that include ABSPATH?
I wouldn’t advise you to share the actual content of that file as it contains sensitive information such as passwords.
Thanks for the replies, here’s the wp-config with the database/password removed…
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
define('DB_NAME', '******'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', '******'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '*******'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', '******'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/'.'uploads' );
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
Thanks

Take a backup of the file first.
Then, remove those last three lines of code:
define('ABSPATH', dirname(FILE).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
And replace with:
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(FILE).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
Thanks for that, worked a treat.
Thanks for the clear instructions. Unfortunately, doing this fix did not resolve our problem. My client uses an old MacBook with High Sierra, and I use a new MacBook with Ventura. Before I made the fix he got the error; I did not. I told him to upgrade, and now he has Catalina on his MacBook, but the problem did not go away for him. Catalina may be as high as his MacBook will go. (Catalina is 10.15; next comes OS 11.)
Any other suggestions? Is it just the MacOS? (He doesn’t have a PC.)
