Title: Plugin Won’t Reactivate Last modified: May 9, 2017 --- # Plugin Won’t Reactivate * Resolved [kristnoelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kristnoelle/) * (@kristnoelle) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wont-reactivate-2/) * I randomly received a “500 Internal Server Error” and could not access my site, so I had to go into my FTP Manager and deactivate all my plugins to find what where the error was coming from. When I was able to get back into my site, I tried reactivating all the plugins again and the only one that won’t activate is Seriously Simple Podcasting, due to the fatal error: * Warning: require_once(includes/class-podmotor-handler.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosnaweb08a/b1400/ipg.kristinanoellecom/ wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-podcasting/seriously-simple-podcasting.php on line 38 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘includes/class- podmotor-handler.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.5.22-amd64/lib/php’) in /hermes/bosnaweb08a/b1400/ipg.kristinanoellecom/wp-content/plugins/seriously- simple-podcasting/seriously-simple-podcasting.php on line 38 * I’ve already tried updating the plugin and clicking “Activate”, and it still shows the same error message! * Please let me know what I should do in the meantime while this is fixed. It would be nice not to have to delete and reinstall again, since I have some podcasts on there already!
