    Hello
    I uploaded a new theme from WP Daddy and activated it, and got a completely blank page, now that is all I get. I cannot find my website and I cannot get access to /wp-admin/ either. I type in my URL and get a blank page, and type the URL with /wp-admin/ and get a completely blank page as well. Can anyone please help me to find my website?
    Thank you

    THe only thing you can do here is to delete the offending theme.

    Since you don't have access to your site or wp-admin, you need to do it through the backend.

    This will require you to use ftp, or a file manager if your host offers one. Once you are using either method to connect to your server you navigate to

    wp-content -> themes

    And delete the folder for the bad theme. This resets your site to whatever the default WP theme is (currently 2011) and allows you back in
