    Hello.

    I installed wordpress onto a free webhosting-solution this other day, and I experience this error in the “Incoming links”, “Plugins” and “WordPress Blog” sections of the Dashboard.

    Fatal error: Class 'SimplePie_Content_Type_Sniffer' not found in /home/<my_username>/public_html/wp-includes/SimplePie/Registry.php on line 179

    Anyone have an idea on this?

    Cheers.

    Before installing wordpress you should check with your hosting provider if they meets the minimum server requirements: https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

    If yes, then the most of the time these kind of errors are files permissions related : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_File_Permissions

    hope this help

    The host does meet the requirements.

    How would you suggest me to handle the file attributes? How do I know, what they should look like, without knowing about the internal workings of WordPress and/or this SimplePie (whatever it is)?

    I am open to all suggestions. ??

    The easiest way to do this is to use winscp client and open your wordpress directory (probably /home/yourusername/pblic_html).

    Select all folders and files, then do a right click and select properties.

    Type 0644 in Octal field and check addX to directories box.

    Check also Set group, owner and permissions recursively.

    Click ok

    It should take about an half hour to finish, then try again.

    If you get a message (cannot write to…) then give a 0777 permission to this folder and only this folder for security reason. Mostly for cache or images directories.

    Which would be the equivalent of:
    chmod -r +644 *

    Correct me if I am mistaken.

    … which sadly doesn’t fix my issue.

    I am trying to reinstall my WordPress-installation now. Hopefully I just fubar’d something in the install and this will fix it.

    yes, 644 for the files, but the folders need 755 on a cgi/fastcgi environment.

    A reinstall helped. I do not know what caused this problem, but I suspect some plugin.

    Thank you for your help, castordor.
