Changed functions.php and now can't log in or make any changes

  • Hi everyone,

    I just started using WordPress last week, and have been slowly building my website.
    I’m using the Catch Everest Theme and since it didn’t have a way to add menus to the footer, I consulted a website that walked me through how to do it.

    The first step was to add something to the functions.php page, which I did, but then got the dreaded “Server Error”. I went back and deleted the code I added, but still get the error. I even found the exact original code for the functions.php page via Google, copies and pasted it, and still nothing. I can’t log in, can’t make any changes to anything at all! I’m just stuck in the functions.php page with no clue as to what I did wrong.

    Can anyone help? My website is arcturusastrology.com, if that helps.

    Cheers,

    Lynne

    I deleted the folder, and do have all of the default themes that you mentioned. Still can’t access anything, though.

    Hmm, well, try deactivating your plugins by renaming the plugins folder:

    wp-content
    plugins.HOLD

    I think this is something more than a single theme’s functions.php

    There’s nothing here at all:

    Your whole WordPress installation is malfunctioning, which could be any number of things.

    I recommend working with your host, or find a better one.

    I deactivated the plugins, and still nothing.

    I’ll contact my host about the installation problem.

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your help! Hopefully this will be resolved.
