 * I installed the Astra theme and activated it when I went to customize it gave
   these errors:
 * **Warning**: require_once(C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\wordpress/admin.php):
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in **C:\Program Files (x86)\
   Ampps\www\wordpress\index.php** on line **10**
 * **Fatal error**: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\
   Ampps\www\wordpress/admin.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php\pear’) in **C:\Program
   Files (x86)\Ampps\www\wordpress\index.php** on line **10**

 * Your site is trying to load a file named `admin.php` from your WordPress installation
   folder, `wordpress`.
 * But the official WordPress software downloadable from **WordPress.org** doesn’t
   have any such file at all: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.3.1/src](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.3.1/src)

 * I see you mentioned an error, but you didn’t provide specific details about the
   error or what you’d like to customize. To assist you effectively, please provide
   more information about the error you’re encountering and what customization you’re
   looking for. This way[,](https://ehsastracking.pk/navttc-batch-5/) I can offer
   more targeted assistance.

 * Please see George’s response, above. If the errors you pasted are correct, then
   it’s likely you’ve been hacked.
 * Get a fresh cup of coffee, take a deep breath and carefully follow [this guide](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of t[he recommended security measures](https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/")

 * If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are a couple.
