 * I have a fatal error below and now I can’t access my site. I was trying to install
   the custom-community theme that is compatible with buddypress and I think I did
   it before activating buddypress. Please help.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared
   in /home/bu000315/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
   _inc/ajax.php:17) in /home/bu000315/public_html/wp-content/themes/custom-community/
   _inc/ajax.php on line 81

 * Using ftp rename the theme custom-community so that default theme opens so that
   you can log in.

 * Sorry I have many themes installed but the custom-community theme is the one 
   I had activated and the theme folder is already named custom-community
