• The update process didn't complete successfully and some files appears to be corrupted, try reinstalling WP. – 99teko Commented Aug 18, 2016 at 13:18
• @OmarSoliman Its a really old website with a lot of customers, I'm afraid reinstalling is not an option for me. Is there anything else I can do about this? – Shaheer Commented Aug 18, 2016 at 13:28
• Yes you can, download latest version of WordPress and unzip the archive, then connect to your website FTP and upload the wp-includes and wp-admin folders, if you were asked to replace existing files, do it, also do not mess with wp-content or the database. and one more thing, try to do a backup first if possible. – 99teko Commented Aug 18, 2016 at 13:34
• now I'm getting the same error on every page of my website – Shaheer Commented Aug 18, 2016 at 16:12
• Same error? Fatal error: Class 'WP_Post_Type' not found in /home/******/public_html/shaheer.xyz/wp-includes/post.php on line 1031 ? – 99teko Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 11:56

I had just changed the version number in version.php back to 4.5.3 (was playing with wp-cli but don't ask why, LOL) and saw this exact error -- Googled it and saw this post.

My bet is your version.php didn't get updated. Look in it and check the version number to see if it is what it should be.
