    Try re-uploading a fresh copy of your current theme via FTP.

    Given that you have no idea what was changed, start by uploading a fresh copy of your theme and then try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    In both cases, you will need to use FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Try asking your hosts if they have a backup.

    Ok i have decided to Install fresh copy of wordpress on other hosting and let my friend try to do h same as he did with my site.

    He actually created New Page and then changed the “perma link” to index.php
    Saved it, and the website is down!! Ho do I troubleshoot this?

    Try deleting the .htaccess file in the wordpress root folder to see if you can activate the default permalinks. And downgrade your friend’s status to author. He can do far less damage that way.
