 * I installed a plugin, and my theme quit working (I’ve been using this theme since
   last August). The message reads: Stylesheet is missing. In desperation, I tried
   installing the theme again, but it won’t allow me to. I get this message: Destination
   folder already exists. /home6/reatiop6/public_html/samanthasbell/wp-content/themes/
   getnoticed/. After researching the problem for a long time last night, I finally
   figured out where to find the theme (I am definitely a non-techie). From what
   I understand, it somehow got moved to the wrong folder.
 * I found the unsuccessful new installations and deleted them (I realized after
   reading a lot of posts that don’t want to lose the customizations I had already
   done, so I’d rather not reinstall anyway). I also found the directory. The theme
   is here: /public_html/samanthasbell/wp-content/themes/getnoticed. Is that where
   it’s supposed to be? In the directory, however, there are some things missing.
   While I can open the folder and see the files, there’s no “minus sign” next to
   the GetNoticed theme folder. (There’s not one next to TwentyFifteen either, and
   that stylesheet is missing as well). Although when I click on the folder, everything
   looks like it’s there.
 * Here is where it is:
 * public_html
    cgi-bin samanthasbell wp-content themes GetNoticed
 *  Also, the is missing from the folder further down marked THEMES. For example:
 * public_html
    cgi-bin wp-content themes hatch Nexus
 *  I think I should move it, but I don’t know where to move it to or how to move
   it. Thanks for any help you can give me!

 * Looking at it again, maybe it’s not in the wrong place. But it is missing folders.
   The other themes that are still there show these subfolders:
    css genericons 
   images inc js languages
 * Thank you!

 * It’s fixed! 🙂 Turns out, it was as easy as contacting Bluehost support, and 
   my site is just as it was before.
