Permission denied in wp-includes/functions.php on line 6109

  • Good evening,

    Would you help me fix this error?

    Warning: fopen(/home/s122248a/public_html/wp-content/plugins/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/s122248a/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6109

    I’m starting to work with a client who had an old WP page, and I got this error from the start.

    I thought that by updating everything, deleting old themes and plugins, updating WP and PHP… I could fix the error but I keep getting it!

  • Hi there:

    It sounds like the site you’re working with is not hosted here at WordPress.com but instead using the WordPress software (found at WordPress.org), hosted elsewhere.

    Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers.

    You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    You can also reach out to your host for help with this. Since they’re hosting your site’s files, they also have access to those files and are the best ones to help you with this problem.

    I hope that helps!
