    Hi i’m having a serious issue, my whole theme dissappeared. I get a blank page when i try to go to my site on my local folder. big white page. after literally THREE days of internet searching/troulbleshooting – i realized that it’s a database error and from what i’m understanding it’s an error on the theme end of things. PLEASE help.

    i went to config.php and changed ‘false’ to ‘true’ under WP_DEBUG, and i get the content not found page. i tried reinstalling wordpress and mamp and rerunning the website; it works under the default theme, but my original design is GONE. HELP!!

    That means that there’s a 500 error somewhere when PHP crashed for a code problem.

    but my original design is GONE. HELP!!

    Did you update the theme directly and do you have a backup? It looks like this theme was updated 24 hours ago.

    ive been tinkering on it for days – so this is what i’m currently doing:

    i downloaded the theme again; reinstalled it completely, and now am replacing edited folders one by one. i think you’re right, there’s a code error somewhere. i just dont understand php well enough to debug like that. so this is what i’m trying; let’s see if it works. do you think i’m going the right way though?

    You really want to create, activate and edit a child theme of this theme. That way when a theme update comes out your work will not get wiped out.

    Do you know what you’ve changed? Most modifications to a theme is CSS only but you can really make any changes you like in a child theme.
