 * HELP! Here’s the rundown.
 * 1. Had Godaddy move my blog.website.com to just website.com (killing my old website
   and now just going with WordPress).
 * 2. Tech Support had me drag all files from the blog folder to the root directory
   of my website.com.
 * 3. Went to login to WordPress site today and received this error:
 * Warning: require(/home/content/72/5600172/html/wp-includes/classes.php) [function.
   require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/72/
   5600172/html/wp-settings.php on line 267
 * 4. Called Godaddy tech support. they sent me an email saying I needed the last
   file in my directory, which wasn’t there:
 * require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/compat.php’);
    require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/functions.
   php’); require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/classes.php’);
 * I dont’ know where to go from here…. feeling a bit left out to the sharks to 
   do something stupid and wreck my wordpress site.

 * Sounds like GoDaddy completely messed the site move up. They/You should have 
   followed the instructions in [Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress).
   I suggest you get GD to move everything back to the way it was so that you can
   carry out the move correctly.

 * I will give them a call esmi. Thank you! There is an option within Godaddy I 
   found to Move wordpress and gives me a drop down with my blog.website.com and
   website.com. Wonder if I could use that once everything is restored?
