 Most of Friendica processes are run in the background, so make sure to turn on your debug log to check for errors that wouldn't show up while simply browsing Friendica.
 
+Check the class file for any magic constant `__FILE__` or `__DIR__`, as their value changed since you moved the class in the file tree.
