I am a non-techie with a new site. I uploaded and activated the free Flexibility3 theme. I worked on it a bit last night and everything seemed okay. Today when I try to log-in to my admin to work on the site, a white page comes up with the message to click to buy the paid version in order to remove footer links. I don't care about the footer links but do want to be able to log-in to my site. I can find no way to eliminate this page. The log-in screen appears to flicker briefly beneath this unwanted page but then the page takes over. I have also tried to type in my log-in url directly but the same thing happens. It's like this theme has hijacked my log-in. I had briefly used the same theme on a site that is no longer active and had no problems like this. Any ideas how to get rid of this (non-techie)? Thanks.

Switch to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming - or even better, deleting - your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

Please re-read the suggestion I posted above.

Posted 1 year ago #Thank you. I deleted and it worked. It just takes me a while to understand, even when you put it simply. I have always had a difficult time with WP so have stuck to static sites. Decided to give it another try since it seems everyone swears by it. I do wonder why this happened.

Unfortunately, you picked a rather nasty theme. I'd recommend that you only download themes from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ They should all be quite safe.
