# Cannot access to wp admin

 * When I try to access to wp-admin I get this warning:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /var/www/virtual/acquaerisparmi.it/htdocs/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child1/
   functions.php:12) in /var/www/virtual/acquaerisparmi.it/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.
   php on line 1179
 * Really I tried to modify the file functions.php but, as my modifications couldn’t
   work I kept the previous version.
 * Please can you help me to understand what I can do?

 * Yep, you can fix this – but you’ll need to use FTP to access your site files 
   on the server and rename that child theme folder – then WP will use a default
   theme and you’ll be able to login again.
 * Ask your hosting company how to set up FTP if you’re not familiar with it.

 * After that may I rename back the folder?

 * I changed only the functions.php. It should be better change all the other files
   in the folder?

 * What is in your child theme functions.php file? Do you have a lot of custom functions,
   because it’s not that usual otherwise.

 * I have only two. But today I did maybe a mistake trying to introduce the Google
   analytics code.

 * Have you tried a plugin to add that – probably an easier way to go :). But I’m
   glad this one is resolved – you can always start a new thread if you want to 
   discuss the other.
