WP theme is preventing me from login in to WP admin (2 posts)

    Can anyone help me with this??
    I downloaded the 'Business Top' theme from http://newwpthemes.com/ and tried making changes to the footer - not allowed so I tried login in to wp admin to unistall it, but I get this message:

    This theme is released free for use under creative commons licence. All links in the footer should remain intact. These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way. This great theme is brought to you for free by these supporters.

    All links to my blog (http://reviewanddownload.com) now display this message - the homepage everywhere.
    Please, does anyone know how to fix this??

  2. If you have FTP access, then it's not too painful.

    1) Go in via FTP and delete the theme folder.
    2) Make SURE you have the default theme still installed there!
    3) Edit wp-config.php and put this in up at the top, right under <?php up at the top:
    update_option('template','default');

    If that doesn't work, you'll have to edit it via SQL, but I'm 99% sure that should work. Once you're in, click on any other theme to activate it. You'll then need to go back in wp-config and delete the line you added to go forward.
