Your solution would be nice to know for any others that may have the same issue.

Apparently a virus deleted the cron file. Had to reinstall wordpress and reupload the site!

thanks for everyone not hating on me for not understanding certain basic things at first

all the best!

"I can't show cron.php because it's nowhere."

Nowhere did I see that statement.  Now that I have I realize that the issue is not just correcting a line of code but figuring out what happened to that file.  From what I I knew I was simply expressing my concern as to why this question was taking so long to answer.  Apparently it was.

i didn't realise you wouldn't click on a link so how would i know you don't know?

it was because i am on the other side of the world to you and i was sleeping.

Either way, problem is solved now, thank you for the help everyone!!

always possible cron.php has been deleted. I would be looking everywhere for it.

I searched for it in the search bar and it actually doesn't exist at all.

That's what OP was showing .... that the required file isn't in the wp-includes folder.

Thanks for this!

Too bad the OP can't show us WHERE the file is then.  We could put this measly problem to bed.

I can't show cron.php because it's nowhere. I was showing it's not in the folder at all. Really don't understand your attitude, I get that you are an expert at this and I CLEARLY stated my situation in the beginning. I was never doing this part of our business, my dad was but he died tragically and I am happy I can do this much at this point (I'm an architect... of buildings). If you want to/can your help is appreciated but no need to bully. I was showing the correct thing another member pointed me towards. 

 

Thanks

did you look inside

for cron.php? Is it an actual file that exists in the folder?

I looked at that folder and it doesn't actually have cron.php inside it!

And PS - since you have not bothered to SHOW us this line 210 nor the exact location of this file you have located,  how the heck are we supposed to show you exactly what to type?  

I did show you... I took a screenshot of it and shared in my original post... It is this one: https://ibb.co/1s7N9PF

The trick is to actually find that script file and make sure you are looking for it (with your 'require') in that place.  Simple as that.

From my understanding as a complete beginner at this, I did find the script file. Could you please help me out what I should insert in this case on line 210 based on this error message? 

Thank you!

Condolences on your loss.   

I don't believe that script is a core part of wordpress.  Depending on how old the wordpress install is, this could be something that was orphaned some time in the past, or it might have been something custom.  

Clearly it isn't used as the script it is attempting to include doesn't exist.  You might consider just commenting that line of code out at line 210.  Simply add two forward slashes at the start of the line, and save the file again.  This will eliminate the error, and as the script doesn't exist, you won't experience any functional change.  

// include ABSPATH . etc.

 

Thank you. I tried adding  // at the start of the line 210 but unfortunately it doesn't work.

Not sure why this is happening because I def didn't change anything... 

Do you have any other suggestions? I would highly appreciate it.

Hi,

First of all, sorry guys, I'm a beginner at this, my dad used to work on our websites but he passed and I am confused about one of them.

Hosted through cPanel, it just disappeared. This is the error I am getting instead of the website:

Warning: require(/home/briro/public_html/wp-includes/cron.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/briro/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 210

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/briro/public_html/wp-includes/cron.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/briro/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 210

I got to a point where I figured out how to find the 210 line but not sure what to exactly insert there? Tried include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php' and a few other combinations but it doesn't work.  This is what it looks like now: https://ibb.co/1s7N9PF

Could you help please what I should insert exactly so the website works again?

The problem is I really don't know what happened, I literally haven't changed anything on it....

Thank you in advance:

Annamaria
