inactice wp admin panel

  • My website is on my localhost (WebMatrix 3.0) and using Sensitive theme, now the content (text and images) is available but the page is white. When I login to wp-admin the panel displays (still white background) but the links are inactive. I edited wp-config to activate the wp debug (changed value to ‘true’) and received the following error message when reloading the website:

    Strict Standards: Declaration of sensitive_bootstrap_walker_nav_menu::start_lvl() should be compatible with Walker_Nav_Menu::start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = Array) in C:\Users\Jacquelyn Harris\Documents\My Web Sites\wordpress\wp-content\themes\sensitive\libs\nav-menu-walker.class.php on line 117

    I have deactivated all plugins in wp_options (changed value to a:0:{}). I am a noob with just enough knowledge to do some damage…please help.

  • Does the issue still exist when you switch to a default theme?

    I have not tried that. Which one do you suggest…Twenty Fourteen? Also, since I cannot use the admin panel to change the theme, what would be the correct values to enter in the wp_options table?

    I highly suggest backing everything up first – Here is how you would change your active theme directly from the wp_options table:

    SELECT *
FROM wp_options
WHERE option_name = 'template'
OR option_name = 'stylesheet'
OR option_name = 'current_theme';

    This should give you 3 rows with your current theme data in the “option_value” column – This is where you would update it to a theme you already have installed (Something like TwentyFourteen should work as from the error message you posted, it appears to be a theme specific issue).

    Or just switch to the default 2014 theme automatically by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Esmi’s method is actually a lot safer and recommended. Thanks esmi.

    Now remember, I am a “dangerous” noob. So if I rename my sensitive folder to sensitive-old in WebMatrix that will reset my theme to default? I do not have to do anything else?

    Yes renaming the sensitive folder directly on the server should force the default theme back.

    okay…now it is a blank white page. ??

    Do you have a default theme installed?

    I created the site using Sensitive so I guess it was the default. How do I set the default theme when the wp admin panel isn’t working. Do I change the settings in wp-content folder or the wp_options table?

    By default theme I mean WordPress default theme like 2014,2013,2012,2011, etc.

    The admin panel indicates the active theme is 2014. The website content (text and images) display, but the background is white.

    So….is anyone able to help? Am I left with having to start from scratch? Do I unistall/reinstall WordPress? WebMatrix? Neither? Both?

    It is hard to say with such little information – Have you tried contacting your web host?

    The website is located on my localhost (WebMatrix) with WordPress 3.9.1 installed.
