The most common causes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Incorrect_permissions_for_files_and_folders\"><\/span>1. Incorrect permissions for files and folders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"mybox-3200498193\" class=\"mybox-content mybox-entity-placement\"><div class=\"early-access-banner-inpost\">\r\n  <div class=\"banner-left-inpost\">\r\n    <div class=\"icon-box-inpost\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/square-info-icon.svg\" alt=\"Info\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"text-box-inpost\">\r\n      <span class=\"label-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Acces timpuriu<\/span><\/span>\r\n      <h4><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Mai ave\u021bi nevoie de ajutor?<\/span><\/h4>\r\n      <p><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Contacta\u021bi echipa noastr\u0103 de servicii pentru clien\u021bi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"banner-right-inpost\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.mybox.com\/helpdesk2\/v\/list\/\" class=\"banner-button-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Trimite mesaj<\/span><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"translation-block translation-block-merged\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main reasons for this error is incorrect file and folder permissions on the server. WordPress requires proper permissions to read, write, or execute files. If permissions are set incorrectly, problems may arise when accessing files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Missing_file\"><\/span>2. Missing file<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, this error can be caused by a missing file. This may be the result of an incomplete installation of the theme or plugin, accidental deletion of the file, or a problem with the server during an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Incorrect_file_path\"><\/span>3. Incorrect file path<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The error may also be caused by an incorrectly specified file path. This may be due to an error in the theme or plugin code, where the file location has been defined incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Server_configuration_issues\"><\/span>4. Server configuration issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some server settings, such as <code>allow_url_fopen<\/code> disabled in PHP, can cause problems when opening external resources. If the server blocks the opening of URL streams, an error may occur when WordPress tries to load a file from an external source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_fix_the_error_%E2%80%9CCould_not_open_stream%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>How to fix the error &#8220;Could not open stream&#8221;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fix this error, you need to analyze its cause. Below are some methods that can help you solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_file_and_folder_permissions\"><\/span>1. Check file and folder permissions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check and correct file and folder permissions, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Folder permissions<\/strong> should be set to <strong>755<\/strong>, which means full access for the owner and restricted access for the group and other users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>File permissions<\/strong> should be set to <strong>644<\/strong>, which allows read access for everyone and write access only for the owner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do this using an FTP client such as FileZilla:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect to the server using an FTP client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click on the folder or file, select the &#8220;File permissions&#8221; option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set permissions to 755 for folders and 644 for files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Check_whether_the_file_exists\"><\/span>2. Check whether the file exists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the error refers to a specific file, make sure that the file actually exists on the server. If the file is missing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please try reinstalling the theme or plugin to ensure that all files have been downloaded correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also check the server error logs to find out which file is causing the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Correct_the_path_to_the_file\"><\/span>3. Correct the path to the file.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the error occurs due to an incorrect file path, check the theme or plugin code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check that there are no hard-coded (absolute) paths in the code that could be incorrect. Example:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>include('\/wp-content\/plugins\/my-plugin\/file.php');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instead, use the WordPress function to dynamically determine the path:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>include(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'file.php');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_the_server_settings\"><\/span>4. Check the server settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the problem is related to the server configuration. You can check the <code>allow_url_fopen<\/code> setting in the <code>php.ini<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, open the <code>php.ini<\/code> file on the server and make sure that the <code>allow_url_fopen<\/code> option is set to <strong>On<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>allow_url_fopen = On<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note! In the case of mybox, we do not offer the option to edit the php.ini file. However, this option is always active in our hosting offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Update_WordPress_themes_and_plugins\"><\/span>5. Update WordPress, themes, and plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, the problem may be related to incompatibility between WordPress versions, themes, or plugins. Updating them to the latest version may solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>WordPress Control Panel<\/strong> > <strong>Updates<\/strong> and check if any updates are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Check_the_server_error_logs\"><\/span>6. Check the server error logs.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server error logs can provide more information about the cause of the problem. You can find them in your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel, Plesk) or directly on the server in the <code>\/var\/log\/<\/code> folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Contact_your_hosting_provider\"><\/span>7. Contact your hosting provider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the above steps do not work, contact your hosting provider. They may have additional diagnostic tools and be able to identify the problem at the server level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Failed to Open Stream&#8221; error in WordPress can be caused by a variety of factors, from permission issues to missing files to a misconfigured server. It is crucial to identify the cause of the problem, which will allow for a quick and effective solution. Performing diagnostics according to the above tips should help restore full functionality to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the problem persists, it is worth asking for help on WordPress forums or consulting an expert.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[25,58],"manual_kb_tag":[1292,1592,3458,3903,3904,3905,3906,3907,3908,3909],"class_list":["post-205","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-hosting","manualknowledgebasecat-web-applications-cms","manual_kb_tag-server-configuration","manual_kb_tag-file-permissions","manual_kb_tag-php-ini","manual_kb_tag-failed-to-open-stream","manual_kb_tag-could-not-open-stream","manual_kb_tag-wordpress-error","manual_kb_tag-folder-permissions","manual_kb_tag-missing-file","manual_kb_tag-incorrect-file-path","manual_kb_tag-allow-url-fopen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/205\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=205"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
