Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming /wp-content/themes/famous to /wp-content/themes/famous-old using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application your host provides. * Thread Starter [payaamt1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/payaamt1/) * (@payaamt1) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-require_oncefunctionrequire-once-failed-to-open-stream/#post-2831005) * Well I appreciate that but I do not know how to get to the themes because that error continues to show. How can I change the theme without going to the admin. And do I have to change the theme because if you look at the site, tfcpas.com, you can notice the format is very different and if I were to change it now, it will all get ruined. Can I switch to Twenty Eleven and then switch again to the my theme? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-require_oncefunctionrequire-once-failed-to-open-stream/#post-2831011) * Please re-read my post above.
