 * Hi folks,
 * I am experiencing an error on my WordPress site. I”m wondering if I installed
   a plug in that is not compatable and giving me issues but am not sure, as I am
   fairly new to Word Press.
    **My home page is: [http://launchnow.ca](http://launchnow.ca)**
 * **The error reads:**
    Warning: require(/home/zelda/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.
   php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /
   home/zelda/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 478
 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/zelda/
   public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/
   lib/php’) in /home/zelda/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 478
 * I tried to 1) re-install the file indicated (pluggable.php)and I also tried to
   2) re-install the full WordPress
 * however the I am still encountering the error (and yes I cleared my cache). Hoping
   someone can assist.
    Thank you for your time,it’s greatly appreciated.
 * Zelda

 * Look at your error:
 * `/home/zelda/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php`
 * `No such file or directory`
 * [http://launchnow.ca/wp-includes/](http://launchnow.ca/wp-includes/)
 * do you see a pluggable.php in that directory? I dont.

 * My mistake. There was a filed called plugin.php but not pluggable.php A long 
   7-line error messsage can be confusing to a newbie but I see it clearly now that
   you’ve snipped it.
    Thanks very much for time and assistance. It works fine now.
   If I can be of any help to you (obviously not in WordPress but whatever 🙂 then
   feel free to let me know. Cheers

 * [@iamzelda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamzelda/),
 * no worries! I snipped it to make it easier to see as yes, I know long error messages
   can intimidate.
 * dont ever let those bother you..
 * someday, if im ever in canada 🙂
 * PS: you should create an empty index.html and upload it to your wp-includes/ 
   directory

 * Hello whooami,
 * I am having a similar problem with my blog also:
 * [http://www.photomartuniversity.com](http://www.photomartuniversity.com)
 * and the error message reads:
 * Warning: require(/home7/photomar/public_html/wp-content/themes/masunurin/functions/
   option.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /home7/photomar/public_html/wp-content/themes/masunurin/masunurin/functions.
   php on line 18
 * and I almost attempted to solve the issue with the “FileZilla” resolution but
   wanted to be 100% certain that it was the correct approach to solve the issue.
   PLEASE HELP!!!!

 * sorry, I meant you have to do that with an ftp program (or by logging onto your
   host if they allow you to edit files online)
 * if you have to ftp, filezilla is a good one

 * Hey there, I’m running 2.8.6 and im not an experienced coder. I installed a plugin
   called “Random Posts Widget” (Website here [http://www.romantika.name/v2/wordpress-plugin-random-posts-widget/](http://www.romantika.name/v2/wordpress-plugin-random-posts-widget/))
   and as I clicked install I saw that is had not been tested for my version, alas
   it was too late. And now whenever I attempt to go on my website or into my admin
   page i am given this error message
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare widget_ara_randomposts() (previously declared in/
   websites/123reg/LinuxPackage21/mi/sc/mu/miscmusic.net/public_html/wp-content/
