  • Looks like your server is running fine:

    https://tcmhs.us/readme.html

    See if you have the correct wp-config.php permission file permission (including other files). The permission should be usually:

    755 for folders
    644 for *.php files

    okay, I am now able to view my website but when I try to login, i just get a white page

    Based on your error above, looks like there is a bug in your LightMag theme. You can delete (don’t forget to back it up) or rename the theme folder using FTP for

    /public_html/wp-content/themes/LightMag/

    so it will fallback to the default WP theme, so you can login.

    okay that worked. But how do I get it back to the lightmag theme? I tried to activate it again but it went back to the default lightmag theme and not the one with all the changes I had made to it. Do I have to do the changes all over again?

    oh nevermind…I just named it back to the original name and it worked. Thank you!

    okay but the problem still exists in the orignal named lightmag theme. When I activate it I still can’t login to my admin panel. I think there is something wrong with the functions.php.

    Wow…I finally think I figured it all out. Site is back up and running. Thanks for you help

    Glad it’s solved. Was some problem in the functions.php file?
