    Help! It seems as though I accidentally pasted a wrong code into my functions.php file for my website, and now nothing is working/showing up. I’m desperate for help and am not very technical (I was told to paste this particular code into this file from a plugin help site, it obviously didn’t work). I’ve read some things locating my wp content folder using FTP or something, but I don’t understand any of that. Please help! Thanks!

    You’ll need to access your server via SFTP or FTP (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics), or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and remove what you added to the functions.php file by editing it with a plain text editor.

    Thank you very much for your quick response. I successfully accessed my server via FTP and deleted the error. Everything works perfectly now. Thank you again for helping and making this easy!
