   Hi All,
   I am new to WP. I have started building my site and I thought I would see how it looked via different themes. That turned out to be a bad idea
   as now I can't get into my site at all. Along the way this message was issued while I was testing the "Darkzine" theme.

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare __popular_posts() (previously declared in /hermes/bosweb/web071/b719/ipg.golfcourseshowcasesc/wordpress/wp-content/themes/darkzine/functions.php:1322) in /hermes/bosweb/web071/b719/ipg.golfcourseshowcasesc/wordpress/wp-content/themes/darkzine/functions.php on line 1563

   I get this same message when I try to login to the front page or the wp-admin page. I tried rebooting my laptop to no avail. Please can anyone help with this?
   My website is http://www.golf-course-showcases.com/wordpress
   Thanks in advance.

   I think you've just encountered a theme compatibility issue. Use your ftp client or the file manager in your hosts control panel to remove the darkzine theme. Clear your browser cache, and revisit your site at yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin. From there you should be able to log back in and the default WordPress theme should kick back in for you.

   Thanks Clayton. I used Filezilla to delete the DarkZine theme from my themes folder, tried access to wp-admin and all is well via default theme.
   Thanks again. Your have saved me a bunch of headaches.
