• My whole blog is now white and plain and no matter what theme I choose it doesn’t change it from being white and plain.

    Why is it doing this?

  • Your CSS is broken for some reason.

    Did you install or update a plugin recently? Did you update WordPress recently? These are the most likely causes.

    Also, check your folder to make sure /wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css still exists.

    Installed a plugin yes, and then I removed it.

    All theme files are still there.

    Did you deactivate the plugin first or did you just delete it? What was the plugin?

    I deactivated it first I’m sure.

    It was a Foursquare Recent Checkins plugin.

    Make sure that all the files have been deleted from the plugins folder. I noticed that this is a pretty new plugin, and it’s possible that the author doesn’t QUITE know what he’s doing yet.

    Was your site broken while the plugin was installed, or only after you uninstalled it?

    Only after πŸ™‚
    All files associated with that plugin have now gone.

    Sorry, I should say make sure that the Foursquare folder WITHIN the plugins folder is deleted.

    All of the files to do with 4Sq are now gone.

    Still not fixed.

    Okay, looks like you’ll probably need to do a database repair. Reading your blog I saw that you’re using GoDaddy, so you need to log in there and navigate over to phpmyadmin.

    Here are some instructions once you get there:

    Do the repair and let me know if that solves your issue.

    I’m having the same problem with my site. Changed the function.php code, hoping to add a customizable header, and now my entire site is white except when I’m here: http://www.gilesfamilytherapy.com/wp-admin/widgets.php We use godaddy too. Is it possible that this is a godaddy issue? Looks like we’re having the same problem at the same time.

    Jennifer,

    In the future, please start a new post as your issue really isn’t the same as James’s. That said, this is definitely not a GoDaddy issue in either case. The issue is that you edited the function.php code incorrectly. Find a backup of the file and re-upload it. If you don’t have a backup, simply re-download WordPress and find the file in the download and re-upload that single file to the appropriate place.

    Hi James,

    I notice your site is still messed up, but now it’s black. Were you able to attempt to repair your database? Any updates? I’d like to help get you back on track!
