 * Hello everybody,
 * I’ve got a WP website for my business and this morning got this message:
 *     ```
       Warning: require(/home/u235085140/public_html/wp-includes/version.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/u235085140/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 30
   
       Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/u235085140/public_html/wp-includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/opt/php-5.2/pear') in /home/u235085140/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 30
       ```
   
 * I have no idea what is it about. The last time I made some changes was last Monday,
   when I pusblished a new post on the blog. Also, on Tuesday I realize ‘somebody’
   had posted spam on the blog and deleted it. But I haven’t upgraded anything else(
   at least conciously as I am a photographer and have not a clue about this).
 * On the other hand, I have no access to the web through WP-admin… I am desperate,
   anybody knows what has happened and how could it be solved?
 * Thank you so much.

 * Use FTP or your hosting control panel’s File Manager to check that folders have
   755 permissions.
 * If you’re able to login try reinstalling WordPress via Dashboard > Updates. If
   not:
 * 1) make a full backup of all files, put it aside
    2) download a fresh copy of
   WordPress 3) upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders
 * Any problems or different errors, let us know.
