    Trying to create a post on my blog (Theme Brickyard) have been unable to access my site in Bluehost. All attempts to access my WP Dashboard fail. I have used different computers, abd browsers, no joy. The Bluehost support tells me I need to contact the vendor for the theme to correct it. Below is what they gave me..

    /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-content/themes/brickyard/functions/fe/widget-posts-default.php:9 Stack trace: #0 /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-content/themes/brickyard/functions.php(22): require_once() #1 /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-settings.php(695): include(‘/home4/emergfn9…’) #2 /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-config.php(102): require_once(‘/home4/emergfn9…’) #3 /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-load.php(50): require_once(‘/home4/emergfn9…’) #4 /home4/emergfn9/public_html/xmlrpc.php(29): require_once(‘/home4/emergfn9…’) #5 {main} thrown in /home4/emergfn9/public_html/wp-content/themes/brickyard/functions/fe/widget-posts-default.php on line 9

    Can anyone help me?

    Hi @danielmkilburn,

    It looks like your theme (Brickyard) is causing a fatal error in this file:

    /wp-content/themes/brickyard/functions/fe/widget-posts-default.php on line 9

    This prevents WordPress from loading properly. Since Bluehost support has already confirmed it’s a theme issue, you can try these steps:

    1. Switch to a Default Theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four)

    • Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel).
    • Go to File Manager → wp-content/themes/.
    • Rename the brickyard theme folder to something like brickyard-old.
    • WordPress will then fall back to a default theme.
    • Try logging in again to your dashboard.

    2. Check for a corrupt or missing file

    • Reinstall a fresh copy of the Brickyard theme (download it again from where you purchased it).
    • Upload it to wp-content/themes/.

    3. Debug the error
    If the issue persists, enable debugging:

    • Edit wp-config.php and set:
      define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
      This will show you the exact error details.

    4. Contact the theme developer
    Since this error is inside the theme files, only the theme vendor can fix it if there’s a bug. Check their support page or send them the error log.

    Support of all commercial themes and plugins is out of scope for these forums. While we will not close your post, we also cannot guarantee any support at all, be that by volunteers or the developers. We recommend you instead use the developer’s official contact for their premium offerings, as that is the most direct line.

    Hey Daniel, that’s a rough spot to be in, especially when all you want to do is post something and everything’s locking you out.

    Looks like your Brickyard theme is causing a fatal error that stops WordPress from loading at all. Ahmod already gave a great breakdown on how to get back into your site by renaming the theme folder, so just adding a couple thoughts:

    If that gets you into the dashboard, make a quick backup before doing anything else. Then you can try reinstalling the Brickyard theme or switching to something else while you reach out to the theme developer for a fix.

    Also, if your site is showing that error on the front end, installing a “maintenance mode” plugin can help hide the mess while you troubleshoot.

    Hope you’re back up and running soon. Glad you posted here.
