 * Hello,
 * I am very much sorry for that question.
 * I’ve installed version 3.2.1 manually. Logining in generates an error:
 * Warning: require(/home/mathteac/public_html/blog/wp-includes/classes.php) [function.
   require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mathteac/
   public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 68
 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/mathteac/
   public_html/blog/wp-includes/classes.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/
   local/lib/php:/home/ctkorg/public_html/PHP’) in /home/mathteac/public_html/blog/
   wp-settings.php on line 68
 * When I comment line 68, the error is different:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_wp_error() in /home/mathteac/public_html/
   blog/wp-includes/load.php on line 368
 * I’ve checked your archive. There plenty of discussions on that missing file –
   none seems to help.
 * What do I do now?
 * Thank you in advance

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Do you know where I can get the **freshest** download? Neither wordpress-3.2.1.
   zip nor wordpress-3.2.1.tar.gz that are available at the WordPress site ([http://wordpress.org/download/](http://wordpress.org/download/))
   contain a classes.php file.

 * Nor should they. All class files are individual in 3.2.1

 * What does that mean?
 * Does it mean that “a fresh download from WordPress” will not help?

 * Esmi, thank you for your help. It appears that I missed wp-settings in the root
   directory among the rest of the loose files. My apologies if I was a little impatient.
