 * My website is on my localhost (WebMatrix 3.0) and using Sensitive theme, now 
   the content (text and images) is available but the page is white. When I login
   to wp-admin the panel displays (still white background) but the links are inactive.
   I edited wp-config to activate the wp debug (changed value to ‘true’) and received
   the following error message when reloading the website:
 * Strict Standards: Declaration of sensitive_bootstrap_walker_nav_menu::start_lvl()
   should be compatible with Walker_Nav_Menu::start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args
   = Array) in C:\Users\Jacquelyn Harris\Documents\My Web Sites\wordpress\wp-content\
   themes\sensitive\libs\nav-menu-walker.class.php on line 117
 * I have deactivated all plugins in wp_options (changed value to `a:0:{}`). I am
   a noob with just enough knowledge to do some damage…please help.

 * Does the issue still exist when you switch to a default theme?

 * I have not tried that. Which one do you suggest…Twenty Fourteen? Also, since 
   I cannot use the admin panel to change the theme, what would be the correct values
   to enter in the wp_options table?

 * I highly suggest backing everything up first – Here is how you would change your
   active theme directly from the wp_options table:
 *     ```
       SELECT *
       FROM wp_options
       WHERE option_name = 'template'
       OR option_name = 'stylesheet'
       OR option_name = 'current_theme';
       ```
   
 * This should give you 3 rows with your current theme data in the “option_value”
   column – This is where you would update it to a theme you already have installed(
   Something like TwentyFourteen should work as from the error message you posted,
   it appears to be a theme specific issue).

 * Or just switch to the default 2014 theme automatically by renaming your current
   theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder
   name using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.

 * Esmi’s method is actually a lot safer and recommended. Thanks esmi.

 * Now remember, I am a “dangerous” noob. So if I rename my sensitive folder to 
   sensitive-old in WebMatrix that will reset my theme to default? I do not have
   to do anything else?

 * Yes renaming the sensitive folder directly on the server should force the default
   theme back.

 * I created the site using Sensitive so I guess it was the default. How do I set
   the default theme when the wp admin panel isn’t working. Do I change the settings
   in wp-content folder or the wp_options table?

 * By default theme I mean WordPress default theme like 2014,2013,2012,2011, etc.

 * The admin panel indicates the active theme is 2014. The website content (text
   and images) display, but the background is white.

 * So….is anyone able to help? Am I left with having to start from scratch? Do I
   unistall/reinstall WordPress? WebMatrix? Neither? Both?
