PHP warning: require_once … failed to open stream

The error means what it says. When you’re using this:

require_once(/homez.707/brandingy/www/wp-content/themes/cubus/functions/admin-menu.php)

at this part of your theme:

in /homez.707/brandingy/www/wp-content/themes/chronos_wordpress_theme/functions.php on line 8

the file doesn’t exist so it can’t be “required” by your script. First thing it do is double-check that /wp-content/themes/cubus/functions/admin-menu.php exists because I don’t think that it does.

Hello Catacaustic,

Many thks for your help.
You are right there is no file like that.
Check the screen dump.

What should I do then ?

Best rgds,

Philippe

There’s two choices.

1. You should go back to where ever you got that theme from and get the complete theme package which includes that file
2. Stop requiring that file in your child theme

Either one will work.

1. should be in my back up right ? just copy and past the /wp-content/themes/cubus/functions/admin-menu.php directory ?

2. where is located the line code ? do you have any idea ?

Once again many thks.

Philippe

in the /homez.707/brandingy/www/wp-content/themes/chronos_wordpress_theme/functions.php file

I put //require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/functions/admin-menu.php’);
instead of
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/functions/admin-menu.php’);

sounds that it is working so, so.

Was it the good thing to do ?
thks a lot for your help

Philippe

Do not use the TEMPLATEPATH constant. That is for internal use only by WordPress. Use get_template_directory() instead.

wwwaoo
too difficult for me ! Where do I get that ?
could you pls be more explicit?

thks a lot

Philippe

Please see the page at the link I posted above.

I had a look at it but is as easy to understand for me than chinese.
Now everything is working quite perfectly.

require_once(get_template_directory . ‘/functions/admin-menu.php’);

would be the good code line ?

Thks a lot !!!

Philippe

I realize that it would be more

get_template_directory(TEMPLATEPATH. ‘/functions/admin-menu.php’);

right ?

Philippe

No. Try require_once get_template_directory() . '/functions/admin-menu.php');

just like that. nothing else.
instead of require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/functions/admin-menu.php’);

right ?

Philippe

Yes

not working

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /homez.707/brandingy/www/wp-content/themes/chronos_wordpress_theme/functions.php on line 8

Philippe

You need to read the error messages. They tell you exactly what the problem is and where it is.

You have something wrong at line 8 of your functions.php file where you have a ) that is not meant to be there. You need to be look at what you are actually putting into your code.
