First let’s see if we can get you into your site again.
- Using FTP or whatever filemanagement tools your host has provided you with navigate to the
wp-content/themes directory.
- Once there locate and backup the
wp-opulus directory. This is just in case you made changes to those files and wanted to save that. If you don’t want to save any of those files then skip this step.
- Once you’re good with that backup then delete the
wp-opulus directory. Just that one directory and nothing else.
- Try and visit your themes URL
http://your-wordpress-URL-here/wp-admin/themes.php. If all goes well you can login and will be notified that the theme is missing. You can switch to another theme after that.
If those steps do work then review this Codex link.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
You may also need to update your server’s php.ini file if that does not work.

Hey Jan, Thanks for the advice, Now, there i another problem though… Ok so I did everything suggested I however did not back up the wp opulus file I also had several other themes downloaded that I never activated. I did not realize that there was a memory limit in the file. Anyway, I downloaded several other themes but had never activated them so I deleted them as well.
Now… the site is back, when I navigate to the URL “www.7thgenmusic.org” the site is there and displays a theme, I am not sure which one, I think it’s the 2012 default. But when I try to access the admin panel it gives me this error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/keyawin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mingle-forum/fs-admin/fs-admin.php on line 715
So can I just delete the Mingle forums Plugin? I am planning on using wp symposium anyway, I have not activated symposium yet but it is downloaded.
Hey jan I was just checking back to see if there was a reply and i re-read my question above and maybe the better way to word that question would be:
If I simply delete the Mingle forum plugin from the file directory will that solve my error issue or will it cause another error, I currently have The Mingle Forum installed and activated and since I can’t access my admin dashboard to deactivate it I am concerned that simply deleting it from the directory will cause other problems. Can you advise?

I just looked, you defaulted to Twenty Eleven. That’s a good thing since you can now manage your WordPress installation.

It’s hard for me to say for sure. The real problem is that PHP is running out of memory.
Try making a full backup of all your WordPress files and database.
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database
http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
You should be able to make those backups without having to get into the WordPress dashboard.
Once that’s done and you are confident that you can put it back then try removing that Mingle forum plugin.
If it works then you should be able to get into your dashboard. If it doesn’t or causes other problems then you can put the plugin back.
If those steps still don’t do it then again review this Codex link.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
You may also need to update your server’s php.ini file if that does not work.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit
Once you allocate more memory successfully then your WordPress should be fine.
