    I’m new to wordpress, so thanks in advance for the help. After a failed Plugin install, I get the following errors, and the website and dashboard will not appear. (I have successfully uninstalled the plugin, and verified that the plugin folder was removed from the server):

    Warning: include_once(/home/sechrest/public_html/wp-content/plugins/admin/) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/sechrest/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 473

    Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/sechrest/public_html/wp-content/plugins/admin/’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/sechrest/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 473

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/sechrest/public_html/wp-settings.php:473) in /home/sechrest/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

    I took a look at line 473 in the wp-settings.php file, but I have no coding experience so I’m not sure what steps to take. Would appreciate any guidance on how to get the site back up and running.

    Thank you.

  • hi

    see if you have a folder called admin in your wp-content/plugins/ folder

    unless you have a plugin with that name, it should not be there.

    if it is there, try deleting it, or at least moving it outside of the plugins folder

    Then try again and see if that helps

    That appears to have worked! Now that I see your fix, I understand a bit better about what the error(s) meant and how I could fix a similar situation in the future.

    I’m going to mark this as resolved. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi Stvwlf,

    I have a same problem what asechrest had. But, as you suggested him, I don’t have admin folder or plgun with that name in specified directory. I did install and uninstall plugins previously. I am using exec-php plugin to execute php scripts in my web pages. PHP scripts excecute fine if I have simple code, but when I include include_once function, I get an error exactly what asechrest got.

    I am using simplepie plugin to feed content from RSS feeds. The simplepie.inc is a required file and it is located in following absolute path.
    /public_html/transgeeks/quicknews/php/simplepie.inc
    I am using PHP script like this
    include_once $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/php/simplepie.inc’;
    because quicknews is my document root.
    When I run this script, I don’t get any path related errors. I get an error like this.

    Warning: include_once(/home/expertsh/public_html/transgeeks/php/simplepie.inc) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/expertsh/public_html/transgeeks/quicknews/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/includes/runtime.php(42) : eval()’d code on line 4

    Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/expertsh/public_html/transgeeks/php/simplepie.inc’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/expertsh/public_html/transgeeks/quicknews/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/includes/runtime.php(42) : eval()’d code on line 4
    // feed url

    Any idea what is happening?

    Thanks in advance.
