Broken Theme & Dashboard
-
My website is http://www.bearfootcreative.net
I am using the sliding door theme. I can’t get to anyplace to tell me the version of wp – it’s fairly new.
I was attempting to have the blog posts show up on a page other than the front page by:
1. In Settings>>Reading
Telling it to use the front page as a static page – I think this gave me an error message and I reset it.
2. Putting the blog page address in as the wordpress address under general settings. I think this is probably what did it.
Now, I have no theme and I get an error message:
“Sorry!
We can’t seem to find what you’re looking for!The link you just followed was broken. Head back home.”
It is the same whether I put in the url for my website or for my dashboard. I get links to my pages and my page content but can find no way to get to the dashboard to fix it.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi, I took a quick look. It’s hard to say without seeing everything, but I’m nearly certain that you just need to fix that URL you mentioned above. There are 2 places that this URL is needed, just about next to each other in admin. My psychic powers tell me that you have

… when you should have…
http://www.bearfootcreative.net/But it’s possible that you can’t even get to the admin – getting those URL settings wrong may have prevented that. If so, you can try the following, or if it’s too daunting, you’ll need to get a geek to investigate.

Good luck. Dave
Thank you so much, Dave!
After reading the link you sent (and much mucking around), I was able to change the link in phpMyAdmin of my database in cpanel.
I really appreciate your taking the time to help.

You go, Madeline! Yes, PHPAdmin can fix a multitude of evils.
Well done, and glad to have helped!
PS: those sliders are cute.
