PHP/Home Content Warning – Unable to access administrative functions

  • Upon trying to access the Word Press dashboard and administrative functions, the following error shows up:

    Warning: include(wp-includes/class-wp-term-connect.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/91/11211591/html/wp-config.php on line 92

    Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘wp-includes/class-wp-term-connect.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php’) in /home/content/91/11211591/html/wp-config.php on line 92

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/91/11211591/html/wp-config.php:92) in /home/content/91/11211591/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1216

    I cannot access the dashboard or even the login to attempt to remedy this. I updated Word Press to the latest version a couple of days ago, after seeing a similar message superimposed over the top of the dashboard. The comments on my website have been inundated with spam for the past couple of weeks, and no amount of attempting to remove it has helped. I started seeing this error message after taking Bulk Action marking comments as Spam – it would pop up, but re-typing in the admin url would make it go away. This was still the case for about 24 hours after the update. Now, re-typing the URL simply results in that message popping up, with no access to the dashboard. I’ve cleared the cache and cookies. I admit that I am not particularly tech-savvy, so please pardon me if there is something obvious that I am missing.

  • Hi!

    This error occurs because WordPress is trying to include a file but isn’t finding it. The problem is that WP is looking for a file that shouldn’t really exists, i.e., this wp-includes/class-wp-term-connect.php file isn’t a WordPress file and shouldn’t be in that location. So, chances are your site was hacked.

    Edit your wp-config.php file, try to add // before everything in that line and try to access your site again. If it works you’ll have to clean your WordPress installation with a plugin like WordFence.

    Also read this guide and then try to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.
