 * Hello,
    Amazon text and image links were not working for me so I entered a bit
   of code into my functions.php file. I updated it and now the website will not
   load and is showing up as blank. I cannot get back to the theme editor because
   it seems my site has been wiped clean. [http://www.howtojumphigherforbasketball.org](http://www.howtojumphigherforbasketball.org)
 * any help would be appreciated thanks

 * Sorry that happened to you. You needed to create a child theme so you can edit
   to suit your needs. Did you download a back up of the site files? Yours are still
   there, but because you edited the functions.php incorrectly, they will not show
   and you got the error message. If you do have the files backed up on your computer,
   and you can ftp to your server, you can just ftp the functions.php to the server
   under content / themes/theme name.
 * Can you contact you hosting company and tell them the problem. Most will restore
   for you.
