 * New to WP. Just about finished the site. Tried to remove the footer but I have
   screwed things up somewhere. When I log in to WP, enter my user name & password
   then hit enter, I just get a white screen, no header page, no dashboard, nothing.
 * If I type the site name into google, its finds it OK & the site looks all OK.
   I just can´t get into it myself now & use the dashboard.
 * I have tried retracing my steps to see what I did. I deleted the html code in
   the footer php file. (I know, I´ll keep a copy of this elsewhere next time before
   I delete anything!)

 * What theme are you using? You can download a new copy of the theme to your local
   computer, and then, using FTP, replace the footer.php file with a new copy.

 * I have used Clean Retina. I thought it might work if I deleted the current theme,
   then reloaded again. What has got me vexed, is I cannot find a way of getting
   the door open so I can access the dashboard, to do the delete & reload. When 
   I tap in [http://www.carpfishingatlamorinais.com/wp-login.php](http://www.carpfishingatlamorinais.com/wp-login.php)
   the WP login page comes up OK. I enter my User name & p word, hit enter, then
   all goes white & disappears. There is nothing at all on the screen. I´ve done
   something wierd.

 * Do you have FTP access (or another file manager system your host uses) – then
   you should be able to delete the current theme — and WP will then to to the default
   theme automatically:

 * OK, this is where I am now – please go gently with me!
    I have accessed my site
   hosts control panel (laughing squid) & can see under the ´Edit Your Site` tab,
   FTP Server 2 then all my p words etc underneath. It says use this address. So
   when I put my cursor over the address I expected the hand to appear & be able
   to click into it. I am missing something somewhere? Thank you for your patience–
   I know I am close.
