 * Use FTP to replace the functions.php file with a fresh, unedited copy. See [Filezilla](http://filezilla-project.org/)
   and [FTP Clients « WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients).
 * **And:**
 * White screens are PHP errors. Try Debug and see what PHP errors you are getting.
   See [https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG)
 * Add
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
       ```
   
 * in wp-config.php and the debug.log file will be in wp-content.
 * Add this line
 * `define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);`
 * to wp-config.php to log and dump them to the browser.
