    I am working with a site and found that as I was attempting to edit a text widget I get this error:

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/n/e/s/nestaedu/html/mtf/wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/n/e/s/nestaedu/html/mtf/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on line 33

    I also see this message (above) in my Dashboard in WordPress News.

    Nothing in my core files has been edited or missing.
    I have tried turning off all my plugins and trying to edit the text widget but the issue continues.
    I have re-uploaded the wp-admin directory too.

    How do I determine what is causing the issue?

  • What theme are you running?

    Have you tried switching to a default , core theme? It looks like an issue with the ajax call, related to your theme.

    The theme that is used is a child theme that calls to Justin Tadlock’s theme named, Hybrid.

    I added Twenty Fourteen and activated it. I added a text widget to the Primary sidebar and the site immediately threw that same error for me.

    What now?

    PS: Thank you Evan for your speedy reply.

    Re-download WordPress and replace ajax-actions.php inside of wp-admin. Because, to me, it looks like ajax-actions.php doesn’t exist or is corrupt.

    (Check if it exists first)

    Interesting…

    I re-uploaded the entire wp-admin directory.
    I inspected via ftp and found wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php
    is indeed present.

    However, when I attempted to open that file I got an error and the server says that file is not present.

    I can open the file on my desktop but when I replace it on the remote server it will not open. I cannot get info on it and change the read write either.

    I downloaded a new copy of WordPress v.3.8.1 and tried again. No good. I cannot upload that file to the hosting account.

    You were spot on Evan, thank you so much! I assumed that the files I uploaded were fine. I had to login to the hosting account and upload via the cPanel/File Manager.

    The error is gone. Thanks again!
