php fatal error require_once

I truly hope someone can help as I think I’ve exhausted all avenues and still can’t figure it out. FYI – I went to the support forum first to see what I could find regarding this error type and searched under php fatal error require_once and read every post and response. I also called my hosting company and have sent an email to the place where I purchased the theme. I’m still having no luck and hope someone can assist.

Here’s what I’ve done and the error: (Note: There are no plug-ins activated on this site).

I installed WP 2.8. I uploaded the WPRemix theme. Within this theme, you have the ability to select templates and then “send to editor.” Sounds easy enough. However, I get the following error code:

Warning: require_once(/home/easyde5/public_html/wp-content/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/easyde5/public_html/wp-content/themes/wpremix_3_single/wpremix3/editor/RemixEditor.php on line 9

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/easyde5/public_html/wp-content/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/easyde5/public_html/wp-content/themes/wpremix_3_single/wpremix3/editor/RemixEditor.php on line 9

I then went to my control panel and confirmed with the hosting company that these files exists. Here’s the content within the Remix editor:

RemixEditor.php
PHP script text
<?php
/*From https://planetozh.com/blog/2008/07/what-plugin-coders-must-know-about-wordpress-26/*/
$root = dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))));
if (file_exists($root.’/wp-load.php’)) {
// WP 2.6
require_once($root.’/wp-load.php’);
} else {
// Before 2.6
require_once($root.’/wp-config.php’);
}
header(‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=’.get_option(‘blog_charset’).”);
if (isset($_POST[‘action’]) && isset($remix_advanced_editor)) {
check_admin_referer(“wp-remix-advanced-editor”);
$postID = isset($_POST[‘pid’])? (int) $_POST[‘pid’] : 0;
$action = $_POST[‘action’];
$page = (string)$_POST[‘page’];
//Remove sidebar custom field
$remix_advanced_editor->remove_template_custom_field($postID, ‘_wp_remix_page_sidebar’);
if ($action == “sent_to_editor”) {
$file = $remix_advanced_editor->templatepath . “/” . $page;
if (!is_file($file)) {
$remix_advanced_editor->remove_template_custom_field($postID, ‘_wp_remix_page_template’);
die(”);
}
$f = fopen($file, ‘r’);
$content = fread($f, filesize($file));
//Add a custom field, let’s us know which template is being use
$response = new WP_Ajax_Response();
$remix_advanced_editor->add_template_custom_field($postID, ‘_wp_remix_page_template’, $page);
$response = $remix_advanced_editor->get_content_options($postID, $content);
$content = $remix_advanced_editor->get_content_to_edit($postID, $content);
$response->add( array(
‘what’ => ‘content’,
‘id’ => $postID,
‘data’ => $content
));
$response->send();
}
}
?>

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
