Theme gone all crazy after W3 validation edits

Looks like you introduced an error in one of your theme’s template files. Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. That will get you back in but then you’ll need to track down the error before re-activating your old theme.

i only changed 1 letter in functions.php then changed it back…

it was this below (changed the ‘r’ then changed it back

// We don’t need to write to the file, so just open for reading.
$fp = fopen( $file, ‘r’ );

Using fopen() in Themes = bad.

What Theme are you using?

Ok, I tried replacing all the theme files i edited and it made no difference…

Should I replace the functions.php file or will that make things worse?

just to add I have recently updated WP, But im pretty certain it was all fine before hand.

The whole reason all this happened is because firefox wasnt showing the page propperly and IE was (for once) So i did a bit of research and it was bwcause of an unclosed tag (hence the w3 validation route)

Have you tried to contact the theme developer?

Not yet, trying to figure out what I did so I won’t do it again.

(still learning)

right, im getting there…

I replaced functions.php and now its showing but all messed up as before, this time in all browsers…

can someone/moderator delete this post please ??

All fixed
