 * Hello,
    I have a problem with a wordpress site. It started getting an error when
   you would go to the site instead of the front page it would show an error in 
   the function.php on line 119. SO I ftp to the site and I replaced the function.
   php file with the original and that fixed it for a couple of days. Then it went
   back to the same error, so I tried again and this time it didn’t fix it. Now 
   when I go to the site it goes to a blank page with a 0 in the upper left corner.
   Any idea’s on what to do? Thanks Here is the site [http://www.cheriwilliams.com](http://www.cheriwilliams.com)

 * Your functions.php file is being changed because your site has bene hacked and
   is infected with malware.

 * Trash the site and start again. If you have backups then revert to the last known
   clean back up. If your host can help ask them to. They will be happy to help 
   to keep their servers clean.
 * if all that fails, start again, and remember to keep backups all the time!!!

 * Hello,
    I’ve had the same error on a site that I’m working on (chicktime.com).
 * [11-Apr-2013 10:24:22 America/Chicago] PHP Warning: require(ABSPATHWPINC/option.
   php) [[function.require](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupt-wordpress/function.require?output_format=md)]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/stor3-wc2-dfw1/504110/
   762059/www.chicktime.com/web/content/wp-includes/functions.php on line 8
 * I ran the site through
    [http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/](http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/)
   [http://www.unmaskparasites.com/](http://www.unmaskparasites.com/) It came up
   empty for viruses. The host (who had no idea what the error was) also ran a virus
   scan and didn’t find anything. Anybody know what this could possibly be? Thanks!
