one question,

when i try to open wp-config.php as instructed above, my PC says I don’t have the software to open it – this probably proves a lot about how little I know re HTML and PHP – is there some program I can download to enable me to open this .php file?

If it is really compalex, that’s OK, I think I will go for a full WP re-install. Again, Tx.

Thanks, I will try them – they look promising and provide a new approach!

To be clear, I have already (twice)deactivated and deleted all of my twentytwelve themes from my dashboard.

You mean delete, in my C-Panel, in my public_html folder, the “themes” folder?

My concern: If I do delete it (and I am tilting that way), I am not sure how to install a new themes folder — it has a different color (blue) to the regular folders (yellow), and I notice that it includes, in addition to my theme files, a 30-byte file called index.php, which I expect I would need going forward? Any guidance on how to complete this round-trip operation?

Thanks.

I have thought of using Firebug to edit my non-clearing customized Twenty Twelve – that is, inspect each of the customized changes and delete them.

But since I am not a coder in HTML, I am afraid of not deleting enough, or deleting too much, because I am not sure if the highlighted code for a particular customization entirely corresponds to that particular customization (for example, an imported clickable image in one of the front page widgets) or if I have to go up a few levels and delete more than the highlighted code. I wouldn’t mind starting from scratch with twentytwelve, but I can’t get a fresh copy that does not take up the previous customization….

I’ve even thought of deleting my entire sert of WP file, and reinstalling WP, starting completely over, but then I wouldn’t have learned anything, would I?

Thanks, deepbevel – I tried the same as you — I deleted the File (style.css for the child theme), and I also deleted the new Folder that I had created in Themes/WP-content – that did not solve problem.
