to rule out plugin/theme-specific issue, try:
– Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
– If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
i got pretty noobish question, do i have to get to host server, or from FTP
level i can change things?
hello, today by mistake i removed some code in the wordpress menu editor, i believe that was from header function.php
Do like #Tara said and rename your theme. Once you get back in your dashboard, re-install a fresh copy of your theme and go from there. Editing php files can shut down your site if you don’t know what your doing.
renamed my theme by Filezilla program, nothing happens.
changed value in wp-config DEBUG = true from false, nothing happens.
now downloading phpmyadmin.
edit.
