    Hello,

    A few days ago, I upgraded WP (5.4) on a website. Since, I receive every day email with "Failed to change directory to /var/www/vhosts...".

    Problem is, I don't have a wordpress file in my httpdocs File Manager. Only wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes. 

    A clue where is my problem?

     

    Thanks a lot!

    David

    Hi David Bernier,

    How can you upgrade WP, if you only have those 3 folders? WP requires other files too.

    This may be a reason why WP is somehow detected, but as broken because there's missing files.
