WordPress Disappeared with Theme Change

  • Just uploaded some new themes, went to activate it, and suddenly, both my main page (https://trentgillaspie.com) and my wp-admin page will not load. Other sub directories I have running off of my site will load, but nothing in that folder.

    How can I get access to change the theme back to normal, or how do I figure out what is up and restore if necessary?

    Thank you for your help!

  • Try switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Thanks for the help. What do I rename it to? Just delete the current Twenty Ten theme folder and rename the current theme to that?

    Thanks,
    Trent

    Leave the twentyten theme folder alone. Rename the folder for the theme you activated to anything you like (eg. foobar).

    Renamed the current theme folder to “Foobar” using my FTP. Nothing has changed from an access point on https://trentgillaspie.com or the wp-admin page.

    Let me know if you think of something else! thanks!

    Try:

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Couldn’t reset the folder, as I can’t login to my administrative panel, highlighted in Step 4 of the FTP process.

    Trying the second part, and things are getting hairy with the wpconfig.php and the databases. My FTP thinks I’m doing something suspicious and has suspended my account. I’ll keep you posted, thank you for the help!

    Did you try steps 1 to 3?

    Yeah, but that does nothing. Still left things inaccessible. Waiting on my FTP access to be restored and we’ll try things again ??

    Quick update. Basically lost everything. Restarting my blog. Haha. Well, I’ll take it as a sign. Thanks for the help!
