The file permissions would not change for some reason. So i contacted my host and they were able to change the permissions and remove the wp-admin folder.
I uploaded a fresh wp-admin folder from another install of WordPress, but then after about 1 minute of being in wp-admin I got the following error.
Warning: require_once(/home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 82
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 82
And also
The file permissions on the wp-admin/include folder have been set back to ’00’
is this right?
