You can deactivate that theme by renaming the theme folder using FTP or Cpanel access – find it here:
wp-content
themes
wp-centrik.HOLD (Rename this folder)
That should let you login again and then reinstall the theme.
I may have put this in the wrong place. I believe that my blog is hosted on wordpress.com. It is my understanding that FTP doesn’t work there.
Am I out of luck?
It does not look like your site is on WordPress.COM –

Ask 1 and 1 for help setting up FTP.
OK. I did as you suggested above.
Now when I click on the blog I do not get an error, but get just a blank screen.
??
Anything else I should do?
Do you have a twentytwelve or twentythirteen folder in the themes folder? If not, you need to upload a copy of one of those themes – download a copy here to your local computer –
http://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwelve
Unzip it on your computer and upload the theme folder via FTP.
If you do have one of those already there, try renaming the plugins folder:
wp-content
plugins.HOLD
Disregard:
I entered my website/wp-login.php and was able to log in. Maybe it will work ok from now on.
Thanks so much for your help.
Should I feel somewhat safe in switching themes or is there a problem there?
Whoops I spoke too soon. The themes directory has disappeared from my dashboard, and I got a notification at the top of the dashboard that the themes directory is missing. All I did was change that one folder that you mentioned.
ok. I’m probably writing too often. I disabled the plug – ins and got the themes folder to reappear.
Now the only way I can get into the blog is by putting the trailer /wp-login.php on the blog name and log in each time.
I want to let anyone see the blog just by clicking on the blog link. Is there a setting I got messed up somewhere?
Sorry to be a pain, but I haven’t worked on this particular blog for a while and am just now updating it.
I really appreciate your help — it’s good and timely!!!!
Looks like it’s now working with twentytwelve – I see it fine from your URL:
