 * I recently suffered a 4 day outage at webhostinghub.com. They have restored most
   of my files. But one of my blogs (not one that was on the server that went down)
   is suddenly stopped working with the following error message. The blog is located
   at [http://mybookblog.kevin-bowser.net](http://mybookblog.kevin-bowser.net)
 * > Warning: require(/home/kevinb11/public_html/mybookblog/wp-includes/class-wp-
   > embed.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   > in /home/kevinb11/public_html/mybookblog/wp-settings.php on line 137
   > Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/kevinb11/
   > public_html/mybookblog/wp-includes/class-wp-embed.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/
   > lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/kevinb11/public_html/mybookblog/wp-settings.
   > php on line 137
 * I have tried several of the fixes in the forums that were posted in December 
   of 2012. But none of them have worked. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of
   files & folder before uploading the new ones.
