http://www.desertsinthedistrict.com/wp-login.php@xionkid – because it is resolved for the original poster. They resolved it for themselves and shared their fix. That’s how the forums work. Start your own thread and keep it open until you’re satisfied. 🙂

In reply to: messed up my functions.php file and can't access my siteFile Manager. Make sure you find the right functions file (don’t want to delete the one that should be there). The modification date may be a good indicator which one it is, but to be positive you should view it in File Manager. You’ll recognize it by what’s in the header.

In reply to: messed up my functions.php file and can't access my siteAs you did above, using File Manager. If it was your active theme’s function.php file that you were modifying, it should go in the theme folder. It should not be, for example, the one in wp-includes, or another theme folder.
EDIT: An alternative is to use the WP default theme to gain access to admin, delete the problem theme, and re-install it that way.

In reply to: messed up my functions.php file and can't access my siteTry using a default WP theme (2012, or better 2015) and see if it clears up. If not, keep using the default theme and temporarily disable your plugins. Clear your browser cache and test again. If you have a cache plugin installed, first clear its cache and then disable it.

In reply to: messed up my functions.php file and can't access my siteGood that your site is back up. Now when you say blank do you mean the entire page is completely blank, or just the post content is missing (as in: header and footer still there)? Did you have other modifications to your theme functions file?

In reply to: messed up my functions.php file and can't access my siteYou’ll want to to replace the edited one on your hosting account server with a fresh, unedited one. You can use an FTP client (like FileZilla), or your web-host’s cPanel or file manager to do this. File manager is easiest if you aren’t familiar with ftp.
Find a copy of it in a freshly-downloaded copy of the theme. Copy the bad one from the server to your computer for reference, delete it from the server, and upload the new one.
Whenever you want to make any changes to your theme, you should make them to a child theme instead. That way you won’t lose your changes when the parent theme gets updated. A child theme is not difficult to make and can save you a lot of trouble in the future.

In reply to: Plugin – Applying it to a page.I would suggest not spending much time struggling with a plugin that hasn’t been updated for over two years. You may find yourself depending on it heavily down the road and really get stuck with no support. You might try the plugin’s support forum, though it seems rather dead.
I’d have a look in the plugin repository for something suitable.

In reply to: Can't access the plugins page (neither the 'add new plugin' page)We know it’s frustrating and hard to be patient, but please don’t start a new thread with the same problem. It makes it harder to try to help you. Continue at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-page-when-trying-to-access-themes-and-plugins?replies=9#post-7477337 where I have left a suggestion.

In reply to: 404 page when trying to access themes and pluginsCheck your site- and WP- urls in
Settings > Generaland make sure they’re right. They should not contain index.php, which is showing up in your post urls. Use this page to learn more about that.Also try deleting the Limit Login Attempts plugin. It may be fine, but it hasn’t been updated for over three years.

In reply to: "All posts" list turned blue after upgrade to 4.3.1Well, I’m glad you at least have something to work with now. I hope you can track down the conflict easily enough. Good luck!

In reply to: "All posts" list turned blue after upgrade to 4.3.1Have you tried a different browser to see how it looks? I know for example that Chrome had an admin menu bug a little while back (the newest version is said to be fixed). Sounds different, but as I said – just an example.
Can you link to a screenshot in case someone else recognizes something they’ve seen before?
Also, from this page (which you should look over):
My layout is all weird on the Dashboard
Flush your cache. If you’re using server caches, or a plugin, flush them too, especially Memcached/APC stuff. They can be sticky. This includes Cloudflare and Pagespeed and Varnish. Anything that caches.
