I changed the permissions on 1 file, and I think I broke my theme (4 posts)

    Hi, I'm very new to WordPress so please bear with me.

    I was trying to figure out how to edit my functions file, and found out how to change the permissions. I changed the permissions so that the file is writable, however when I logged back onto WordPress.org and went to Appearance, it said the theme was broken and it was reverting back to the default theme. My theme doesn't show up on the list - 2010 Weaver.

    Also just saw this at the bottom of my themes page: 2010-weaver/style.css File not readable.

    How do I get my original theme back? What did I mess up when I changed the permissions? How do I fix that style.css?

    FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) and delete the wp-content/themes/weaver folder. Then download a fresh copy of the theme and upload it to the same place.

    That was simple enough. Thank you.
