    I'm trying to change my theme from Ocadia to Magazine-Basic. After I selected Magazine-Basic I got the following error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: register_sidebar_widget() in /mnt/w0212/d31/s11/b0259f80/www/TheBelgoReport/wp-content/themes/magazine-basic/widgets/widget_login.php on line 45

    Now I can no longer access my blog at all - all that I get is this error message on a blank page! I can't log in, nothing. My blog is gone.

    How do I resolve this, I need my blog back!

    Thank you.

    I renamed the offending theme's folder and am back in business. I haven't figured out what initially caused the problem, though. Incompatible theme?

    I tried installing 'Candid' theme on my blog but instead got the following message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_theme_support() in /home/gmiller/public_html/wp-content/themes/candid/functions.php on line 32

    Now I can't access my blog or anything else for that matter.

    Suggestions? Help?

    Thanks in advance.
