    Hi, I updated to the theme ‘Combivan’ today and then found that I can get to my dashboard but every single link on the dashboard goes to a blank page. I can’t even change back to my old theme!

    When searching wordpress for info on this theme I found this statement:
    ‘!This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.’

    Wish I’d seen that before.

    I am panicking, I have no idea if backups were made, I’m just a basic user of wordpress.

    Help!

    Use FTP/ your hosting control panel and delete the theme and revert to Twenty Eleven. Once you are able to login to your dashboard, you can upload a theme of your choice. As you mentioned, never use a theme that is not regularly updated, and if you are using a paid/commercially supported theme, make sure that you get support for the theme if you ever need.
