Stephane,

Thank you for such a thorough response! I appreciate you explaining it to me in non-developer-terms ??

I’ll contact GoDaddy again today, show them this, and ask them to walk me through deleting the file. Glad to know I can then re-install Akismet and have it work properly.

Thank you for your help!

I think it’s all fixed! Thanks so much for your help. I was panicking for a bit. I am certainly learning a lot through all of this!

Thanks so much, Marius! I’ll show this to the GoDaddy folks and hopefully that will direct them to the problems. I am not a web developer so wasn’t even really sure what to tell them. Hopefully this will point them in the right direction and we can get the wonkiness cleared up.

Side note: if I do switch themes, the site looks marginally acceptable (everything rearranged and out of order, of course, but at least the basic content shows up). When I switch back to Elfie, it again becomes a completely unreadable mess. Any idea why it’s doing that? Elfie was so beautiful when I first installed it, before all this happened. Is this part of the server issue, or something separate that I’m doing wrong on my end?

Thanks!
