    I love your plugin and have used it on MANY sites with no issues. One site is giving me issues – I keep seeing this issue:

    fatal error require_once() failed opening required contact form-7 line 11 – when that happens, I can’t get into the site or backend. I’ve been going into CPanel, deleting the plugin folder, then reinstalling. It works for a little while, then crashes the site within a day. The forms on this site aren’t new – they’ve been up for ~2 years, and the issue has just been the last few weeks.

    I am BAFFLED – any suggestions?

    I need to know the actual error message to answer your question. Line 11 of which file?

    Hi Takayuki!

    It stayed “fixed” for a few days after uninstalling/reinstalling, but the error is back. From my error log:

    [12-Nov-2015 14:16:10 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/fourfit/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/mail.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/php54/lib/php’) in /home/fourfit/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/settings.php on line 11

    So – I know it’s IN the settings somewhere – but not sure what – never seen that error before.

    It seems you are seeing the same issue as this.

    Who is your host? What other plugins and theme do you use?

    Thanks.

    This site is hosted on HostGator – I have several sites (using Contact Form 7) on the same server with no issues (and are using many of the same plugins). I’m using Genesis / Minimum Pro theme.

    Long story – but client didn’t want to pay to me maintain the site, but didn’t update it regularly. There was a breach. I am now checking the site daily, running Wordfence (and don’t see malware), but it’s crashing with this error every few days. I’ve also changed all passwords and database PW, etc.

    Plugins I’m using:
    Akismet
    Events Planner PRO
    Genesis Easy Columns, Simple Edits & Title Toggle
    Instagrate to WordPress
    leek.me
    Page Links To
    Simple Share Buttons Adder
    Revolution Slider
    UpdraftPlus
    WordFence
