 * Hi,
 * My website is [http://www.glitterandstripes.com](http://www.glitterandstripes.com).
   It comes up as a blank page now but I wanted to add a blogHer widget and accidentally
   updated the functions.php page with the code and then when I refreshed the website
   I lost everything…does anyone know how to retrieve my site back? I can’t seem
   to login through wordpress.com either.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * 1) Access your WordPress directory through cPanel and Open the wp-content folder.
   
   2) Inside the wp-content folder, locate the themes folder and open it. 3) Locate
   functions.php and remove the code you have inserted or replace the functions.
   php file with working version of functions.php. 4) You can find working version
   of this file from the backup you have prior to performing maintenance or it can
   be the original version that came with your theme.
 * In the event you don’t want to overwrite functions.php, you can rename the folder
   for your current theme, which will deactivate it and revert to the default WordPress
   theme.
 * At this point, you can manually remove any offending code from the functions.
   php file in the inactive theme and reactivate it when you’re ready.
