    Hey everyone,

    Complete newbie here when it comes to coding. My website is http://www.thisappisawesome.com and my theme is Mystique. Everything was going perfectly fine until I accidently deleted some code in the header.php under the editor in appearence in wordpress. I tried switching themes hoping it would go away but no matter what I do it still says:

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template. Template is missing.

    [ Moderator note: please wrap code or log lines in backticks or use the code button. I’ve added the backticks to your post. ]

    This is the code i currently have in the header.php if that helps.

    <?php
/*
 * @template  Mystique
 * @revised   April 24, 2012
 * @author    digitalnature, http://digitalnature.eu

// Header template part, used by all pages on the site.
// Handles the document head, and the page header section (usually main menu, logo, featured content)

?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes('html'); ?>>

<head>
  <meta charset="<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

  <title><?php atom()->documentTitle(); ?></title>

  <?php atom()->metaDescription(); ?>
  <?php atom()->favicon(); ?>

  <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

  <!--[if lte IE 7]>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/css/ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
  <![endif]-->

  <?php wp_head(); ?>

</head>
<body <?php body_class('no-js no-fx'); // these classes are removed with js in the "before_page" hook below ?>>

  <?php atom()->action('before_page'); ?>

  <?php if(atom()->menuExists('top')): ?>
  <div class="nav nav-top">
    <div class="page-content">
      <?php atom()->menu($location = 'top', $classes = 'slide-down'); ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <!-- page -->
  <div id="page">

    <?php atom()->action('top'); ?>

            <?php if(get_bloginfo('description')): ?><div class="headline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div><?php endif; ?>
          </div>
        </div>

        <?php atom()->action('before_primary_menu'); ?>

        <div class="shadow-left page-content">
          <div class="shadow-right nav nav-main" role="navigation">
            <?php atom()->menu($location = 'primary', $classes = 'slide-down fadeThis', $fallback = 'pageMenu'); ?>
          </div>
          <?php atom()->action('social_media_links'); ?>
        </div>

      </div>
      <!-- /header -->

      <?php atom()->action('before_main'); ?>

      <!-- main -->
      <div id="main" class="page-content">
        <div id="main-ext" class="clear-block">

    It’s not the header.php file it’s the style.css file that your WordPress installation has a problem with.

    Don’t post that style.css here BTW unless it’s just the top header lines. 😉

    Where did you get that theme? It looks like it’s not installed correctly or is missing files.

    Edit: Doh! It’s this one right?

    Hey Jan yes that is the theme I was using before this happened and the one I have installed now now. Any ideas on how to fix the style.css?

    Try using FTP or whatever filemanagement tools your host has provided you with navigate to the wp-content/themes directory and make a backup copy of mystique.

    Once you have that copy safely stored then delete just the mystique directory (only that one directory) and then re-install the theme from your WordPress dashboard.
