    My whole site disappeared. I clicked on update the theme functions then it went to nothing but a white screen. I had been working on a widget that didn't work properly. The widget had some things to try. Before i tried them i copied the original code & saved it in word pad. I decided not to use the widget any more & I copied & pasted the original code back in & then clicked update & it went to white screen.Is there any hope?

    @ Kimc333
    why not just upload a fresh file over the one you were working on?

    @ coloredgirlspeak
    ftp to your site and rename themes except default theme
    this should bring up default theme and let you figure it out
    rename themes back to test

    access my Control Panel and rename the themes

    you can do it that way - it's just slower

    Sam, I went into cPanel...renamed the theme (added'1' to each theme name) except the default theme...still a white page.

    yikes - then we need to get serious

    delete the .htaccess in wordpress root
    does it work now? If so, generate permalinks
    admin - settings - permalinks

    if that doesn't work, add this line to `wp-config.php anywhere after opening php statement
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

    I'm hosted by Godaddy and in the admin panel there's a folder labeled,
    [Root] (no subfolders),and another folder labeled 'access_db' (no subfolders)...shall I delete 'access_db'?

    Thanks, Sam :)

    I just had this happen to me. After my initial panic, I went into Dreamweaver and deleted the files for the new theme that I had just uploaded, remotely and locally, and then sent the wp-admin files back up to the site and that fixed the problem. Makes me nervous about trying out any new themes, however.
