    Here’s the error message:
    Warning: require_once(../wp-content/plugins/wp-contact/class.contact.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\5942597\html\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wp-contact-sidebar-widget\wp-contact.php on line 71

  • Hi Dleonte,

    Try to upload the Plugin files and overwrite them.
    I could solve the problem…

    Otherwise, give me your admin account + password, You’ll be able to change it after my intervention.

    Thank you.

    OK, so now, edit your message to remove the account + password, it must stay secret.

    Can you send me the account of your FTP connection ? Like that, I’m able to upload the plugin again and perhaps solve your problem.

    Rename the /wp-contact-sidebar-widget/ directory. This will force the plugin to deactivate and all should be well.

    I don’t want the plugin. Can I remove it from my directory and will that solve my problem?

    Yes, you can. Renaming the /wp-contact-sidebar-widget/ directory or removing it entirely will force it to be deactivated.

    I did it!! I removed the plugin from my file directory and now I am back in to my dashboard.

    Thanks for your help and advice.

    Hummmm… I’ve found the problem, this plugin is installed here :
    ..\wp-content\plugins\wp-contact-sidebar-widget

    The error message you have says :
    Warning: require_once(../wp-content/plugins/wp-contact/class.contact.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\5942597\html\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wp-contact-sidebar-widget\wp-contact.php on line 71

    There is something wrong here !!!
    Wordpress try to read a file in
    ..\wp-content\plugins\wp-contact-sidebar-widget\wp-contact.php
    But if I install the unzip the plugin I saw that the real path is
    ..\wp-content\plugins\wp-contact-sidebar-widget.1.0\wp-contact.php !!!

    So, with FTP, try to rename the directory “wp-contact-sidebar-widget” with “wp-contact-sidebar-widget.1.0”

    OK, I saw you can now connect in admin console…

    So now, you’ve just to clean your database (delete all table regarding this plugin), because WordPress admin console report an error message at the top of the dashboard !

    Don’t forget to change your ADMIN account password !

    Can someone please help me? I don’t know what I did, but when I try to log into my account I get the following error:

    Warning: contact_add_admin_pages(../wp-content/plugins/wp-contact/class.contact.php) [function.contact-add-admin-pages]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home5/richardh/public_html/visuallymedical/wp-content/plugins/wp-contact.php on line 71

    Fatal error: contact_add_admin_pages() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-content/plugins/wp-contact/class.contact.php’ (include_path=’/usr/lib/php:.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php’) in /home5/richardh/public_html/visuallymedical/wp-content/plugins/wp-contact.php on line 71

    It seems like a similar issue like the one above and I could really use some help! Thanks in Advance to anyone who can help!
