Double check the style.css file exists in your theme folder.
I apologize for being such a novice, but I don’t know how to do either of these things, because I can’t get to my dashboard at http://thehandshakemagazine.com/home/wp-admin. If I could get to http://thehandshakemagazine.com/home/wp-admin, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Would you mind explaining how to change the site urls back again, step-by-step, as if you were talking to an eight year-old? Because that’s what I feel like right now.
So frustrating.
Thanks.
You don’t need access to your dashboard. Please see the link I gave above.
Thanks so much! For future searchers, the following worked:
“If you have access to the site via FTP, then this method will help you quickly get a site back up and running, if you changed those values incorrectly.
1. FTP to the site, and get a copy of the active theme’s functions.php file. You’re going to edit it in a simple text editor (like notepad) and upload it back to the site.
2. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.
update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://example.com/blog’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://example.com/blog’);
Use your own URL instead of example.com, obviously.
3. Upload the file back to your site, in the same location. FileZilla offers a handy “edit file” function to do all of the above rapidly; if you can use that, do so.
4. Load the login or admin page a couple of times. The site should come back up.
5. Repeat the above steps, but remove those lines. IMPORTANT: Do NOT leave those lines in there. Remove them immediately after the site is up and running again.”
Back in business!
Any one of the 4 methods outlined in the link I gave above will work.
Oh yeah, definitely. Didn’t mean for it to sound like they wouldn’t! Thanks for your help. Just posted another thread, if you can help on that, as well!
