    I tried to use a plugin to add my own logo over the smallbiz set words and I appear to have crashed the whole thing – I don’t know how to get the original programming back. Any ideas? I hope I haven’t lost it all.

    can you access your admin pages? try disabling the plugin.

    if you can’t access your admin you’ll need access via ftp or your hosts file manager to rename the plugin folder/file of the plugin you are using that caused the issue.

    i have disabled the plugin.

    i think the issue is that i have overwritten the code with something that doesn’t work so it seems to have disabled it.

    I can access all my admin but the actual site doesn’t show.

    can you log in to your control panel (web host) or ftp and look for an error_log file, this will pin point the problem and what file it is and line number, if you can share a snippet of code here we can help fix it.

    Do you know what code you changed? was this in your theme files?

    <?php /* for custom fields start */ ?>
    /*<?php theme_logo(); ?>

    the code I entered is the 2nd line to try and put my logo in. But I don’t know what the original code was.

    It’s the header

    Try switching to the default theme by renaming:

    wp-content/themes/smallbiz

    to:

    wp-content/themes/smallbiz-old

    using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    if i switch to the default theme using ftp will it erase all the content i’ve put on the site?

    No. Your site’s content is stored in your database. Any custom menus & widgets will be lost temporarily but they will still be saved, on a per-theme basis, in your database.
