    Hi,

    I have had to remove pop up maker from a website and when I do I get this in the admin Dashboard only:

    “Warning: fopen(/home/theshing/public_html/wp-content/plugins/popup-maker/popup-maker.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theshing/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4785

    Warning: fread() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/theshing/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4788

    Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/theshing/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4791”

    See image: https://ibb.co/iQ1UQ5

    What is causing this issue and how can I resolve it?

    Thank you

    @cloudeddottedmind – Only 2 reasons for that. Either the plugin was uploaded manually via ftp and doesn’t have the proper file ownership rules set (most hosts offer a reset file permissions button to fix this), or the plugin folder wasn’t deleted all the way and WP is still looking to load it and check the plugin headers (happens even if its not activated).

    Either way the folder is still there. Needs to likely be removed via FTP.

    Not caused by our plugin btw, as the error indicates our plugin files are both missing as well as unable to activate/run. Usually caused by web server permission issues or random glitches when WP is running file operations (delete, upload etc).

    Hope that helps.
