I hope you are using a child-theme and not editing the theme files. * Thread Starter [lyounk09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyounk09/) * (@lyounk09) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733930) * I can’t get into the site to edit anything. Not sure what to do. Don’t know where to get to the FTP — I did create a child-theme over the weekend but I’m not sure that it is working. * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733932) * Do you have an FTP program? or do you have cpanel on your host? * Thread Starter [lyounk09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyounk09/) * (@lyounk09) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733933) * I’m not sure. I’m really a novice at this and should probably not be doing this. I went into the editor on my site to get to the FTP to add some code. That’s what caused the error. * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733934) * Did you edit the functions.php file in the child theme folder or in the theme? * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733935) * So you used the internal editor in WP to make the change? * Thread Starter [lyounk09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyounk09/) * (@lyounk09) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733938) * I’m not sure but I may have been in the theme folder – I used the internal editor in WP to make the change * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733939) * 3 questions: * 1: Did you activate your child-theme? 2: Do you know how to use FTP? 3: Who is your hosting company? * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733942) * I need to leave for now, hopefully someone can take over and get you back online.

Godaddy is good. That means you should have CPanel. You can use the file manager in CPanel. What theme were you using? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733949) * GoDaddy has info on how to use FTP: [https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/96/uploading-files-to-your-website-ftp](https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/96/uploading-files-to-your-website-ftp) * Thread Starter [lyounk09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyounk09/) * (@lyounk09) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733952) * GoDaddy got me back into the site. I am currently using the child theme and most of my changes are there however the error is in the Virtue Premium Theme where I was trying to make the changes * Thread Starter [lyounk09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyounk09/) * (@lyounk09) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733953) * Not sure about the CPanel thing – I can’t activate the theme or it give me the fatal area and I don’t know how to get into it to fix -it. I added a code that I found online to add the “continue shopping” to my site – it didn’t like the code and when I deleted what I thought I had added that’s when the sytem went down. * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-1495/#post-5733954) * Some other help has arrived, I will check back later.
