However, it is quite difficult for beginner users to understand it. In this article, we will show you how to easily fix WordPress error opening streaming error.
Before attempting to fix the error, it would be helpful to understand what causes the 'Failed to open stream' error in WordPress.
This error occurs when WordPress is unable to load the file mentioned in the website code. When this error occurs, sometimes WordPress will continue to load the site and only display a warning message, while other times WordPress will display a fatal error and not load anything else.
The message of the phrases will be different depending on where the error occurs in the code and the reason for the error. It will also give you clues as to what needs to be fixed.
Typically, this message would look like this:
Advertencia: requiera (/home/website/wp-includes/load.php): no se pudo abrir la transmisión: no existe tal archivo o directorio en /home/website/wp-settings.php en la línea 19 Error fatal: require (): Error se requiere apertura '/home/website/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path = '.: / usr / share / php /: / usr / share / php5 /') en /home/website/wp-settings.php en la línea 19

With that said, let's take a look at how to troubleshoot and fix the 'Failed to open stream' error in WordPress.
As we mentioned above, the error can be caused by a variety of reasons and the error message will be different depending on the cause and the location of the file that is causing the error.
In each case, the sequence phrase followed by a reason could not be opened. For example, permission denied, no such file or directory, operation error, and more.
Now if your error message contains 'no such file or directory' then you need to look at the code to find out which file is mentioned on that particular line.
If it's a plugin or theme file, this means the plugin or theme files were removed or didn't install properly. Simply deactivate and reinstall the theme/plugin in question to fix the error.
However, it is also possible that WordPress cannot locate the files due to a missing .htaccess file in its root folder. In that case, you have to go to Settings »Permalinks page in your WordPress admin and simply click the 'Save Changes' button to regenerate the .htaccess file.
If the error message is followed by 'Permission Denied', this means that WordPress does not have the correct permission to access the file or directory referenced in the code.
To fix this, you need to check your WordPress file and directory permissions and fix them if necessary.
Lastly, some WordPress plugins load scripts from third party sources like Google Analytics, Facebook API, Google Maps and other third party APIs.
Some of these APIs may require authentication or may have changed the way developers can access them. If you don't authenticate or if the login method is wrong, WordPress won't be able to open the necessary files.
To fix this issue, you will need to contact the plugin author for assistance. They will be able to help you fix the error.
