 * Hello
 * I have a really embarrasing question. I have tried to remove the “categorized:
   uncategorized” text in the bottom of each post. A friend told me to put a piece
   of code in the end of the .css file. I tried and nothing happened. And then I
   did something really stupid – I put the code in another part of the .css file.
   Something with “functioning” I think.
 * And now my website is messed up and I have no acces to the “Editor” anymore. 
   Everytime i press the “editor” button it says: HTTP-error 500 (Internal Server
   Error). And if I try to go to the website on another page it says the same. But
   I have acces to the dashboard on the page I was on when I messed everything up.
 * I now it is stupid – but I thought that I could just remove the code if something
   did not look okay. I never thought it would gp this wrong! And no, I am not an
   educated webmaster. But I am trying to learn.
 * My website: [http://www.tinakraft.dk](http://www.tinakraft.dk)
    Theme: I have
   forgotten and I have no acces when I press the “Theme” button on the dashboard.
 * Could you please help me? It is really urgent since I am trying to start a business
   now from this very website…
 * Best regards
 * Tina

 * You should be able to access your site via FTP – and deactivate that theme:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble#Deactivate_Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble#Deactivate_Theme)
 * Then, download a new copy of the theme to your computer and replace the file 
   you changed with a new copy of that file (Or reinstall the theme).

 * Thank you so much!
 * But can you maybe guide me a little more? I am just used to be using wordpress
   on the website and not really use the filesystem on the host.

 * You will need to use the file system or FTP to fix this – do you have FTP set
   up? This is a good explanation of how that works and some free FTP clients – 
   Filezilla is great:

 * Where is your site hosted, BTW?

 * Thank you!! It is hosted at one.com.
 * I have already used Filezilla to install the theme at the host so I should be
   able to do as you suggest. I guess….
 * I will give it a try.

 * I am doing wrong somehow because it is not working.
 * “”Rename the active theme” in filezilla?! I have tried to rename “Themes” – nothing
   happened. Then I tried to rename “pinblack” under WordPress content and then 
   themes. Nothing happens.
 * I do not get it.

 * I ended up reinstalling WordPress so now it is working.
    Thanks for your help!
