    Hi,

    One of my WordPress sites will not load, and attempting to load it causes Apache to crash.

    I’m getting the following error:

    [Wed Mar 30 14:22:36.819635 2016] [:error] [pid 1520] [client 127.0.0.1:56768] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/Users/me/Sites/helloworld/wp-includes/theme-compat/footer.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /Users/me/Sites/helloworld/wp-includes/template.php on line 562

    The line 562 in template.php includes:

    if ( $require_once ) {
    require_once( $_template_file );
    } else {
    require( $_template_file );
    }

    You seem to have at least one damaged core file. There may be more…

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the root wp-config.php & .htaccess files and 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.
