 * I clicked update on my calendar plugin and the website has since been down for
   half a day, displaying the following:
 * “Warning: require_once(D:\Hosting\3671910\html\bikelongbeach\wp-content\plugins\
   the-events-calendar/vendor/tribe-common-libraries/tribe-common-libraries.class.
   php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in D:\Hosting\3671910\html\bikelongbeach\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\
   src\Tribe\Main.php on line 286
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘D:\Hosting\
   3671910\html\bikelongbeach\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar/vendor/tribe-
   common-libraries/tribe-common-libraries.class.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php5\pear’)
   in D:\Hosting\3671910\html\bikelongbeach\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\
   src\Tribe\Main.php on line 286″
 * How can I rescue my website?

 * Can you access the site via ftp? You can disable the plugin by renaming its folder
   in wp-content/plugins to include a .bkp at the end.
 * Example:
    The directory wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar would become wp-
   content/plugins/the-events-calendar.bkp
 * If that corrects your issue I would try reuploading a fresh set of the-events-
   calendar files, something may have been corrupted during the update.

 * Download the plugin directly from wordpress.org to your computer. Unzip it and
   upload the to your webserver via FTP into wp-content/plugins/he-events-calendar.
   It looks like one or more files didn’t get there via the update.
