This isn’t something we can replicate at all. It sounds like that one file isn’t actually getting installed, or possibly isn’t accessible on your site for some reason. * Could I ask for you to download the plugin directly here: [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/appointments.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/appointments.zip) * And then install the files manually via FTP? * Or if you could simply verify the following folder exists on your site: /appointments/ includes/gcal/service/ * Along with the file Google_Utils.php, that would help. * Could you let us know if that’s the case? * Thanks, David * Thread Starter [Dave Parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/) * (@deapness) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5034947) * Hi David, * I tried doing as you suggested but the error still is happening. * Here is a screenshot confirming the folder/file: * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/tj6HZhA) * Thanks! * [David](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ugotsta/) * (@ugotsta) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5034973) * Hi [@deapness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/), * Hmm, that’s really strange. Could I ask for you to check the file and folder permissions on your server for that file and also the /service/ folder? * Could you let us know what the permissions are? * Thanks, David * Thread Starter [Dave Parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/) * (@deapness) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5034985) * Hi David, * I’ve tried setting the appointments folder and everything in it to 777 just to test and it still is causing the same error. * Something to note: I have tried this plugin on different websites on the same server and sometimes it has the error and sometimes it doesn’t. * Thanks! * Plugin Contributor [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * (@wpmudev-support1) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5034986) * Hi [@deapness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/), * Could you please try editing the following Appointments plugin file on line number 20 as shown below? * **Appointments plugin file:** plugins/appointments/includes/gcal/auth/Google_OAuth2. php * **Before Editing:** * ``` require_once "service/Google_Utils.php"; ``` * **After Editing:** * ``` require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )."includes/gcal/service/Google_Utils.php"; ``` * Best Regards, WPMU DEV * Thread Starter [Dave Parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/) * (@deapness) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5035014) * Hi WPMU DEV, * I have got it to work based on these last instructions! It was a little bit different, though: * I replaced line 20 with this code: * `require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )."Google_Utils.php";` * And duplicated the “Google_Utils.php” file into /gcal/auth/ * Then I got similar errors in the /gcal/io/ folder so I changed lines 18-20 in Google_IO.php to * ``` require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ).'Google_HttpRequest.php'; require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ).'Google_CurlIO.php'; require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ).'Google_REST.php'; ``` * And it worked! * Plugin Contributor [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * (@wpmudev-support1) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5035016) * Hi [@deapness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deapness/), * Awesome, great to see you made that worked. * If I can be of any further assistance please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂 * Cheers, WPMU DEV Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Require_once(service/Google_Utils.php)’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/appointments_eaf36c.svg) * [Appointments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/appointments/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/appointments/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/appointments/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/appointments/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/appointments/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/appointments/reviews/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/require_onceservicegoogle_utilsphp/#post-5035016) * Status: resolved
