Plugin not working without wp-includes folder

    Hello, tried to update WordPress manually while I have to delete wp-admin and wp-includes folder and upload the new ones to the server. But after the wp-includes folder was deleted, the plugin does not show anymore the maintenance page, but instead shows a PHP warning message:

    require […] wp-includes/load.php failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wp-settings on line 21

    and

    Fatal error: require() Failed opening required load.php […] in wp-settings.php on line 21

    Seems as if the plugin needs all these files in order to work. But in this case I cannot use it e.g. for updating WordPress, because it won’t show a maintenance page then.

    Maybe there is a solution to this problem?

  • Right, it is a WordPress plugin and it will use WordPress functions, classes and more. Much from this is inside the folder, normally. Maybe you should use a other update strategy. Maybe you copy the new folders with a different string and change to the new version after the upload is ready.

    Hello, thanks for your answer!
    But isn’t this plugin for just showing a maintenance page while WordPress is being updated and files are deleted or replaced? So this plugin will not work if I update WordPress manually via FTP by deleting the old files and uploading the new ones, only with this much more complicated way of copying into different folders?

    Regards DonTimo
