    Hi everyone,

    I downloaded the latest WordPress version from https://wordpress.org/download/ and tried to install it on my local server (XAMPP).

    However, I’m getting the following error:

    Warning: require(G:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes/class-wp-paused-extensions-storage.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in G:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-settings.php on line 43

    I searched for the file class-wp-paused-extensions-storage.php in the WordPress /wp-includes/ directory, but it doesn’t seem to exist.

    Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows how to fix it?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello @tejashapani-1, This may happens when the Corrupted during download/extraction. The file class-wp-paused-extensions-storage.php is a normal core file and should exist in /wp-includes/ in recent versions of WordPress. If it’s missing, the installation package was not extracted properly.

    Now you can download a fresh WordPress and try installing. It should work. Make sure you have download the full file.

    Hi Tejas,

    That error usually means the WordPress core files are incomplete. The file class-wp-paused-extensions-storage.php is part of the WordPress core and should normally be located inside the /wp-includes/ folder. If it’s missing, it often means the download or extraction didn’t complete properly.

    Here are a few things you can try:

    1. Download WordPress again
    Delete the current wordpress folder from G:\xampp\htdocs\ and download a fresh copy from https://wordpress.org/download/.

    2. Extract the ZIP file carefully
    Sometimes files are skipped during extraction. Try extracting the ZIP again using a tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR to make sure all files are unpacked correctly.

    3. Check the folder structure
    After extracting, make sure the main WordPress folders are present:

    • wp-admin
    • wp-content
    • wp-includes

    Inside the wp-includes folder, you should see many class-wp-*.php files. If the file you mentioned is still missing, the package likely wasn’t extracted fully.

    In most cases, a clean download and fresh extraction fixes this issue.

    Hope that helps!
