I’ve gotten the following error a few times over the last month:
Warning: require_once(/home/***/***/wp-content/themes/origami/header.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/***/***/wp-includes/template.php on line 572
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/***/***/wp-content/themes/origami/header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear’) in /home/***/***/wp-includes/template.php on line 572
1. The first time it happened, I was able to fix it by going through with the update that was waiting in the wings.
2. The second time it happened, I did a complete reinstall of the theme.
3. The third time it happened, I had to switch to a different theme.
What is causing this to occur?
Hi Daisy,
This is a server permission issue. You’re going to have to check your theme directory and Origami have the approximate permissions. As this is a highly technical issue I would suggest contacting your host for support on this matter. For information on how to adjust permissions please refer to this Codex.
For reference, you’re looking to check the permissions of wp-content/themes and wp-content/origami and its contents.
