    Hello Everyone,

    I was trying to change the size of my header in the Structure theme and seem to have royally messed up.

    My website is http://hellokirsten.com/hottopic/ and as you can see is thankfully still there.

    However I can no longer access the dashboard. When I try I get the following message:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare header_style() (previously declared in /home/hellokir/public_html/hottopic/wp-content/themes/Archive/includes/custom-header.php:9) in /home/hellokir/public_html/hottopic/wp-admin/custom-header.php on line 14

    I deleted the file customheader.php from my CPanel, made a minor change to it, and then re-uploaded it. Resulting in this message. I deleted that file and reuploaded the original but the message remains. I would really, really appreciate some help!

    Here is the tutorial I was following: http://sonyalynndesigns.com/how-to-change-structure-themes-custom-header-size/

    Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming wp-content/themes/Archive to wp-content/themes/Archive-old using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    I lost my favorites/bookmark for my website dashboard. I can access the website that the public sees but I can't get into my dashboard. Any help will be appreciated.
