    Hi everyone. I’m having 2 problems that started at the same time, so I’m guessing they’re related. I haven’t changed any settings.

    1. I can’t edit all of my posts. It’s not consistent – I can edit some of them, and not others, and sometimes I can edit a given post and then NOT be able to a few minutes later. When I click edit on some of the posts, I get this:

    Warning: main(/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php on line 4 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.php’ (include_path=’.:/php/includes’) in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php on line 4

    2. when I click “Preview” on the posts, sometimes it inserts this at the top:

    I’m using the Xeira theme, on version 2.6.1, in case it matters. Sorry for the wall of code here.

    Thanks!

  • the first problem would generally be caused by having not uploaded all of the files and subdirectories to the wp-includes/ directory.

    check that first.

    the second problem is caused by you either using “the paste from word” button OR not using that button and then pasting from word, I suspect.

    Hi whooami. Thanks for responding.

    I’ll check the wp-includes stuff. I just don’t understand why the problem is intermittent & inconsistent.

    On the second problem: you’re exactly right, and I’m kicking myself. As a web designer I know better than EVER to paste anything from Word, but I’d forgotten and copied some posts from an old blog into word to save for later. Thank you for pointing this out.

    ok, it seems to be looking for a file that doesn’t exist in a directory that also doesn’t exist.

    for anyone who has 2.6.1, can you tell me whether your wp-admin directory contains a subdirectory called “text”? and if so, whether the text directory contains a file named “diff.php”?

    I don’t have any of that. Is it trying to call up the wrong thing, or am I missing files?

    Thank you!

    As a web designer …

    you can do that. go download the zip file, unpack it properly — preserving the directory structure.

    furthermore, if you actually look at the errors.. its not looking for a file inside wp-admin/ its looking for a file inside wp-includes/Text/

    right. I realize that it’s looking for it inside that text directory.

    I downloaded the zip file & unzipped it. The wp-admin folder didn’t contain a subdirectory called “text”

    Any thoughts on why my wordpress is attempting to look there or how to change it?

    Thanks again!

    thats right. and like I said, thats not where your error is pointing you either. its pointing you to wp-includes/Text/

    Warning: main(/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php on line 4 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes') in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php on line 4

    LOOK at the errors.

    I’m a moron. I just mistyped in my last post.

    I MEANT that “wp-includes” (NOT wp-admin) doesn’t contain a subdirectory called “Text”. It only contains subdirectories for “images” and “js”.

    Sorry about that.

    This exists: /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php

    This does not:
    ‘/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.php

    Now: any other thoughts? Sorry about wasting your time on the last one.

    Thanks.

    The wp-includes folder didn’t contain a subdirectory called “text”

    (emphasis mine)

    if you are unpacking the zip and dont see that directory than youre not unpacking 2.6.1 or youre not unpacking it correctly. I assure you it is there.

    Its Text, btw, capitalized, and its there.

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

    You’re right. Something is going on with my Vista that’s shutting down the Windows Explorer in the middle of the unzipping process, so I simply didn’t get the file I needed.

    I imagine this will fix it. Thanks, and sorry for what was probably a frustrating discussion.

    no worries, wouldn’t be the first vista issue I’ve heard about here.
