    I could be wrong, but it appears that the ENFOLD updater is broken or there is some sort of a conflict that happens if you update to Enfold 3.6.x after you update to WordPress 4.5. Or maybe it is from updating a particular Enfold version to 3.6.

    When I searched for the phrase “failed to open stream,” on this support site, I’ve found a number of people with similar issues that more-or-less take the same form. They run the update to the latest Enfold, the update crashes midway and breaks the theme, leaving them with an error that looks like this (missing filename varies):

    Warning: require_once(includes/admin/register-dynamic-styles.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/functions.php on line 445

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘includes/admin/register-dynamic-styles.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/functions.php on line 445

    After that error, the WP-Admin panel is inaccessible. One has to go in through FTP, change the “enfold” directory name to something else in order to “break the theme,” and only then can you log into WP-Admin. Once logged in, the only thing that seems to fix it, at least partially, is to restore the previous install of the theme. WordPress will prompt you and say that a previous update (Enfold) is incomplete or broken and asks you to retry. If you do so, it will break again. I did this whole process a couple of times.

    Because other people are having this same error on different sites, it isn’t user-specific.

    PLEASE ADVISE! Until then, I have to keep it at Enfold 3.5.x.

    Hi amz!

    Please do the following and it will fix your issue

    1. Open ftp
    2. go to the themes folder
    3. Rename from enfold to enfold2
    4. login to your admin
    5. Turn enfold folder back to original name

    Let us know if that solves the issue for you.
    Happy to assist with anything else!

    Best regards,

    Are you saying to:
    1. Run the update again to 3.6.1
    2. Have it crash and throw the fatal error.
    3. Go into FTP and rename the directory to “enfold2.”
    4. Log into WP-Admin (since the “enfold” theme doesn’t exist after rename)
    5. Go back into FTP and rename “enfold2” to “enfold.”
    6. Go to WP-Admin and activate the “enfold” theme

    Is that correct?

    When I did something similar to that on my own, all it would do is give me the fatal error again. As I mentioned, I watched the update closely and the UPDATE breaks. It does not complete. WordPress shows an error in the update status. When you try to do anything after that, the blockquoted fatal error shows as plain text on a blank screen.

    Hi,

    Have you tried updating the theme via FTP?
