 * I recently installed WordPress 3.1 (clean install) and things appeared fine until
   attempting to access via the admin dashboard: the Widgets panel, the Plugins 
   panel, and the Your Profile panel. I received the following errors:
 * wp-admin/widgets.php
 * > Warning: require_once(/home/user/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/widgets.
   > php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   > in /home/user/public_html/blog/wp-admin/widgets.php on line 13
   > Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/
   > user/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/widgets.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/
   > lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/user/public_html/blog/wp-admin/widgets.
   > php on line 13
 * wp-admin/plugins.php
 * > Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Plugins_List_Table’ not found in /home/user/public_html/
   > blog/wp-admin/includes/list-table.php on line 41
 * wp-admin/profile.php
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_to_edit() in /home/user/public_html/
   > blog/wp-admin/user-edit.php on line 149
 * Additional information:
 * PHP version 5.3.3
    MySQL server version 5.0.91-community MySQL client version:
   4.1.22
 * Thank you in advance for your time, it is greatly appreciated.
 * Sincerely,

 * Looks like the install wasn’t as clean as you hoped? All your missing files are
   in the wp-admin dir. Try adding all those files again (FTP, unzip, whatever)?

 * I should have mentioned:
 * I re-uploaded the files in question numerous times to no avail.
 * I attempted the following fix on widgets.php – as was suggested in other threads
   with similar widgets.php issues – prior to realising that profiles.php and plugins.
   php were also not working.
 * Replaced
 * > require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/widgets.php’);
 * With
 * > //require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/widgets.php’);
   >  require_once(‘includes/
   > widgets.php’);
 * This also didn’t fix the issue. Error was on line 14 instead of 13 due to the
   commented out line.

 * OK, it probably is file related. Mangaged to track down the problem with the 
   Plugins to:
 * class-wp-plugins-list-table.php
 * It was 0kb on my server, uploaded again and Plugin.php is functional. Clearly
   having file transfer issues to the server (never had this with filezilla before).
 * With that said will attempt to track down the culprit file(s) for the other problems.

 * profile.php resolved by re-uploading user.php (which was 0kb on the server).
 * widgets.php resolved (not sure which upload caused the fix).
 * In all cases it was file related.
 * To others experiencing similar problems, check for file size inconsistencies.
 * Thanks GRAQ.
