 * was using wp fine until tried to acces site today and it says Fatal error wp-
   config.php on line 31
    line 31 shows: require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
   it is becaus the wp-settings.php file is in the main folder and not with the 
   folder where wp-config.php is? but i have not moved any files around so is it
   just the path? any ideas?
