 * Please help!
    I’m in panic mode.
 * I have a wordpress site that was working fine. Somewhere along the way whether
   it was a plugin or some help I got from my webhost but somewhere it is broke 
   in a bad way.
 * The link resides here:
 * [http://www.johnjdycus.com](http://www.johnjdycus.com)
 * On the front end the line 18 in the category file that is coming up in the error
   is just a script to pull up the categories. I haven’t looked at the other files
   yet. and the errors that are popping up when I try to go the admin.
 * I do have a backup from the plugin backup to dropbox but who knows if the broken
   files have been backed up.
 * Is it time to rebuild it?? I hope there is a simpler solution.
 * If I try to uninstall from the webhost (start logic) It says it can’t sync with
   the server.. wow I have a mess..
 * Thank you in advance
    Cheri

 * A [site check](http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/www.johnjdycus.com) shows 
   errors in your installation. Try [manual install](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   of WordPress.
 * NOTE: backup your site first so that you can always reinstall what you have now.

 * Perhaps there is something that harm you website.
 * Download the WordPress, and override the own files, except the wp-config.php

 * Hi Cheri,
 * Don’t panic. Work slowly, and carefully. Don’t make any changes.
    First let’s
   focus on fixing the problem.
 * In short:
    1. Connect to your site using FTP.
    2. go to `../wp-content/plugins`
    3. change the name of each plugin by clicking it, then pressing `<F2>` and e.g.
       putting a ‘0’ in front of the name
    4. Browser: Check if your site is accessible again
    5. If so – ONE BY ONE – restore the names of the plugins.
    6. CHECK after each change if the problem re-occurs. If so, you’ve found the ‘problem-
       plugin’.
    7. Delete the ‘offender’ and look for an alternative plugin.

    How to FTP… [*approximate translation*, I don’t have a US version]
    1.  Download and install Filezilla
         [http://filezilla-project.org/download.php](http://filezilla-project.org/download.php)
    2.  In filezilla:
    3.  file> sitemanagement*
    4.  button: new site
    5.  enter a name for the new site
    6.  click new site
    7.  _enter the settings you received from your webhost:_
         Host: the url where hosting
        takes place EXAMPLE: server22.mywebhost.com
    8.  Protocol: FTP- File Transfer Protocol
    9.  Encryption: Use normal FTP*
    10. Inlogtype: Normal
    11. User: **FTP**–_username_ as given by the webhost
    12. **FTP**–_password_ as given by the webhost
    13. Click `connect`
 * When you entered all data correctly, a FTP-connection is made.
    On the right 
   of the screen the files and folders of your site appear; on the LEFT the files
   and folder of your PC.
    - Click the RIGHT screen [site] and edit as suggested above</il>
 * == == ==
    ALWAYS Make a backup of your site, _before _making any changes!!
    1. Use FTP to backup the files.
    2. Make sure to also backup your database.
