• Hello, my WordPress page was working as usual yesterday. I logged in to add two new users and give them administrative privileges, but did not alter any content. As of today, no users can log in to our dashboard.

    Here are the error messages I see if I go to Dashboard, Themes, Widgets, or Menus:

    Warning: require_once(/home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/theme.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/admin.php on line 67

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/theme.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/php54/lib/php’) in /home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/admin.php on line 67

    Here are the error messages I see if I go to Customize,

    Warning: require_once(/home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/theme.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php on line 1763

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-admin/includes/theme.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/php54/lib/php’) in /home3/mdeehan/public_html/massterlist.com/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php on line 1763

    The website’s front end still appears fine. I am very new to WordPress and web design, so I do not know how to even begin to solve this problem without access to my dashboard.

    Please let me know how to fix this! Thank you.

    Fatal error in the output generally indicates either: (1) your theme doesn’t like your version of WordPress (2) you have a plugin that doesn’t like your version of WordPress (3) or you have an incomplete install/upgrade

    So, try:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides (no Dashboard access required). Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.
