 * I have purchased a 3rd party theme (ThemeForest) and uploaded it to GoDaddy thru
   their site, and also thru CyberDuck on another occasion. Both times, it uploads
   fine and opens at the [http://www.w-design-build.com](http://www.w-design-build.com)
   but won’t allow me to access the wp-admin screen. Goes directly to the 500 Internal
   Server Error. HELP! Please, I’ve been trying to rename, reinstall, delete, everything
   and no luck!

 * Delete the .htaccess file in root; that’s probably the cause of the 500 errors.

 * the .htaccess file isn’t in the root…it’s in the _db access folder….?

 * Is your site hosted on GoDaddy?
 * If so this issue has to with some recent changes GoDaddy has made to their servers.
 * Replacing the following file on your server:
 * wp-content/themes/infocus/lib/admin/tinymce/tinymce.php
 * With the one in the zip file below should resolve this:
