This is how things went wrong:

I uploaded a captcha plugin with FTP to plugins folder

BUT despite it uploading I could not find it in plugins folder (i dont know why)

I then tried to upload it again by dropping it into the plugins directory.

There was overwrite warning BUT I assumed this was re the previous upload. So I ticked box to not warn my again (probably my big mistake)

I must have somehow overwritten all the other plugins with this one plugin.

Yet to me (a novice) this seems very strange and deeply frustrating.

If this is what happened it is a harsh lesson learnt, small errors are severely punished!

I hope to find out in a few hours if web host has a backup.

I still cannot fathom how they vanished… I didn’t delete them all.

There should be a warning box asking me am i sure i want to delete this plugin.

This didn’t happen

I’m using filezilla

How could uploading one plugin somehow overwrite (and wipe out) all the others?

There was a backup plugin, but of course that too is now gone…

Yes the plugins directory is empty.

I am having a nervous collapse!

I will be asking web host re backup but if they do it will be an old one.

Is there any way to “undo” FTP?

All very odd.. I seemed to have fixed the problem by deleting the functions.php file then “replacing” with a new functions.php file (in child theme) which was the exact same !

This worked for a short while… I could access the site

But then the white screen returned…

Why oh why oh why??

fixed…. I deleted the functions.php (after copying it) and then uploaded the functions.php

exact same file yet now it works!!

fixed…. I deleted the functions.php and then uploaded the functions.php

exact same file yet now it works!!

But surely you need an open <?php tag?

The error I’m getting is

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/235466/webspace/httpdocs/cncf.ie/wp-content/themes/customizr-child/functions.php on line 34, referer: https://cncf.ie/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=functions.php&theme=customizr-child

Yet there is no line 34!

I tried deactivating pug ins and changing htaccess file but neither solution worked.
Also contacted server who told me it was the above error but could offer no further assistance

Anyone any ideas?

thx ill try tomorrow (its late here)

Thanks yeah but strange to me that everything was working fine until i edited this functions.php file (in child theme).. then white screen of screen…. so if problem not here, then how did problem arise, where could it be?

I thought the problem had to be here as everything was working fine until i changed this code…

So if the problem is not here, how could the problem have arisen? And where?

Yes its ressolved

That helps.

The jump is still problematic though.

There are a few other things I’d like to change/fix in coming days.

Be great if you have time to help.

And also love to see any of your own work online?

I have fixed that issue by not displaying

@media all and (max-width:480px) {
.carousel-caption {display:none!important;}

}

almost there!

Unfortunately the navbar jumps when resize window, which doesnt look good.

Also notice that now the header background image (hands) doesn’t seamlessly fit when resize either.

Appreciate your help mate
