Followed this wordpress tutorial, stuck on step 3 because I get this error warning everytime I try to access my droplet’s IP/domain
Warning: require(/var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-theme-json-schema.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/wp-settings.php on line 173

Hi @a99ffa7df796-43e6-9a98-88064a
This seems to me like there are some files missing. Are you sure you have a vanilla WordPress installation? Following the tutorial, you should not be getting the said error. My suggestion would be to start from the beginning and carefully follow the tutorial to the leter.
Hi there,
I just tried creating a new WordPress server using the 1-Click installation and it seems to be working as expected.
If this is a brand new Droplet for you too, I could suggest deleting it and creating a new one from scratch.
Let me know how it goes!
You can follow the first 6 minutes from this video here too which shows you how exactly to use the 1-Click installation:
Best,
Bobby
