I was trying to get some rss news feeds on my website so I installed SimplePie + the SimplePie WP plugin, as well as another plugin called Wordpress WPoMatic. After installing everything I activated the plugins and then ran the SimplePie compatibility test and it said everything was good and installed right. So I added some feeds to try it out and clicked the submit button and I got a page with the following Fatal Errors displayed; Warning: main(simplepie.inc) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/digitech/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress/simplepie_wordpress_2.php on line 69 Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'simplepie.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/digitech/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress/simplepie_wordpress_2.php on line 69 Now when I try to bring up any page on the website nothing works, I just keep getting the page with those fatal errors. I can't even get into the WP admin panel anymore. Nothing on the site works now. Can anybody tell me how I can fix this? Is there anyway to just get rid of Simplepie and get the site back up? Can I just delete all the SimplePie and plugin files and start over or will that just make things worse? I don't understand why it's crashed the whole site. I would appreciate any help I can get on this if you have any suggestions. I tried asking at SimplePie but didn't have any luck so far.
The error is that simplepie_wordpress_2.php cannot find the file simplepie.inc, which it needs to function correctly. Check that the file exists. You could try removing the simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress directory (make a backup of it first) and see if you can get back into the wordpress admin.
That's what I don't get. I checked and the simplepie.inc exsists, at least it is in there. I tried moving it around to different parts of the directory but it didn't seem to matter where I put it, I still got the errors. I will give your other suggestion a try and see if that has any effect. UPDATE Good News! I tried your suggestion and everything seems to be back to normal now. Thanks for helping me out there Gawk. Much appreciated! I threw you some rep points.
You could also edit simplepie_wordpress_2.php on line 69 and put the full path to it "/home/digitech/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simplepie.inc"
