 * Hi,
 * Please help. I’m getting this error message when I try to open my site:
 * `Warning: require(/********/********/********/********.com/wp-includes/compat.
   php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /********/********/********/********.
   com/wp-settings.php on line 265`
 * (Actual path changed to asterisks *)
 * The last thing my server did was do a physical location migration. When I tried
   connecting via FTP I was able to login, so I’m thinking the new IP address has
   already propagated.
 * Please help, how do I fix this? Thank you.

 * error says this file is missing
    `/wp-includes/compat.php` which may be indicative
   of other missing files
