# LocalHost completely blank

 * Being completely new to website design, I’m going to need all the help I can 
   get on this one. Scanning through WordPress themes I tried to download the AccessPress
   Parallax theme…
 * [https://wordpress.org/themes/accesspress-parallax/](https://wordpress.org/themes/accesspress-parallax/)
 * …upon downloading it and activating it, I all of a sudden lost WordPress. No 
   more sidebar, no dashboard, nothing except the theme itself and some of my previously
   configured content. I tried to delete the theme inside my WordPress database 
   but now LocalHost is completely blank. Any suggestions?

 * Hi Braeden,
 * When you are trying to troubleshoot an issue like this, you’ll want to rename
   the folder of the current theme you’re having issues with instead of removing
   it from the database. (Renaming the active theme’s folder tells WordPress to 
   switch back to the default theme.)
 * What exactly was deleted from the database? Do you actually have any content 
   on the site yet that you’d like to preserve?

 * Hey Eric,
 * Thanks for the reply, it turned out to be an easy fix, apparently I was hosting
   on localhost/wp-admin/ not just localhost. Once I figured that out I got back
   on wordpress and just switched themes now everything’s working fine again!
