 * Hi,
 * I have had to remove pop up maker from a website and when I do I get this in 
   the admin Dashboard only:
 * “Warning: fopen(/home/theshing/public_html/wp-content/plugins/popup-maker/popup-
   maker.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theshing/
   public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4785
 * Warning: fread() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/theshing/
   public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4788
 * Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/
   theshing/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4791”
 * See image: [https://ibb.co/iQ1UQ5](https://ibb.co/iQ1UQ5)
 * What is causing this issue and how can I resolve it?
 * Thank you

 * [@cloudeddottedmind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cloudeddottedmind/) –
   Only 2 reasons for that. Either the plugin was uploaded manually via ftp and 
   doesn’t have the proper file ownership rules set (most hosts offer a reset file
   permissions button to fix this), or the plugin folder wasn’t deleted all the 
   way and WP is still looking to load it and check the plugin headers (happens 
   even if its not activated).
 * Either way the folder is still there. Needs to likely be removed via FTP.
 * Not caused by our plugin btw, as the error indicates our plugin files are both
   missing as well as unable to activate/run. Usually caused by web server permission
   issues or random glitches when WP is running file operations (delete, upload 
   etc).
 * Hope that helps.
