I am an olf Blogger user now trying WordPress and insanely frustrated.
Basically I tried to edit my functions.php in the wordpress editor and forgot to copy and paste the original in case I made a mistake. Lesson learned.
Now I get a white screen error so I assumed I could go into the template files on my hard drive, open tthe functions.php, cut and paste the original code into the wp editor and be back to normal.
So I open notepad and try to open the php file and it comes out like this
require PADD_FUNCT_PATH . 'class-option.php';
require PADD_FUNCT_PATH . 'class-socialnetwork.php';
require PADD_FUNCT_PATH . 'clas
etc
not the same syntax as the php I am looking at in wp editor.
So I tried to open the php in Dreamweaver mx and got the same results except they were nice enough to color code it for me. Still no code.
So then I tried to upload the original php using cpanel, it was either too slow or would not connect but after 20 minutes nothing happened.
Firewall issues? is there something I should have changed in the firewall?
Next I tried to setup filezilla, still not able to connect.
I'm assuming I need to do something with the firewall?
The most puzzling part for me is that every google search I do, everyone says 'just open the php in notepad and edit it and then cut and paste"
well that doesn't work so....help?!?!
