**Q: Date/Time this occurred (Provide your time zone also)**
**A:** 10:30 CET today
**Q: DevKinsta Version**
**A:** Where can I find the DevKinsta version?
**Q: OS Version**
**A:** Windows 10
**Q: Detailed Description of the Problem**
**A:** After installing DevKinsta and importing a site, viewing the site produced a PHP error:
```auto
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/www/kinsta/public/sitename/wp-includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /www/kinsta/public/sitename/wp-settings.php on line 33
```
There is no `wp-includes` directory in the site directory.
Would this be because of an error on the import? Should I manually add the `wp-includes` directory? Or is there something else going on?
New forum users can’t upload attachments, so no log files.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @AdamM . Welcome to DevKinsta!

An error may have stopped it from continuing to download all the files. What was the error? It may be best to re-import the site to ensure it gets all the files.

Sorry for the trouble there! We’ll look at adjusting the permissions here.
