 * Can someone help me with this error message? I updated wordpress and now am not
   able to login to wordpress – this is the error message I’m receiving when I visit
   my site:
 * Warning: require_once(/home/content/26/8096026/html/wp-content/plugins/contact-
   form-7/includes/functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream:
   No such file or directory in /home/content/26/8096026/html/wp-content/plugins/
   contact-form-7/settings.php on line 3
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/
   content/26/8096026/html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/functions.
   php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/26/8096026/html/
   wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/settings.php on line 3

 * It is always possible that Contact Form 7 didn’t install or update correctly 
   on your site. It’s a general problem with WordPress updates due to the unreliability
   of internet connections.
 * Delete the plugin folder at wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/ **using FTP** (
   don’t use Delete option on Plugins page as this may erase all CF7 forms) and 
   install the plugin again.
