I know both of those generic pages. It is not my question. And as I said I already had wordfence. My question is how can I clean the legitimate looking files quickly?

It just simply disconnects and stops transfer
no i havent tried that plugin
what do you think of winscp ftp program? I just found from google. It looks popular . Is it widely used too?
I used filezilla for years without problem but lately for large amount of transfers it started to disconnect, and even after the update release

Thanks for the information but, I had. That is why this post. Yes I separately backed up database

i wasnt asking that

Thanks,
When you said:
Quite often code and functions suggested by plugins and sometimes theme functions will find its way into the core WordPress to enhance the system.

you did not mean, when we write plugin or theme we must modify or even know the core wordpress code correct?

What do you mean exactly by “find its way”?

You bring up a good point, may be i should switch to a different theme, which is in wordpress repository. Where would I find such themes? Under the themes main menu at wordpress.org right? So if I see a theme there, it definitely means it is in wordpress repository? And if i used such a team, i would be able to get more help on my issues like this?

renaming or deleting theme doesnt work. it says the theme does not exist

fortunately i was able to find the error. when i removed the functions sheet, it at least worked again although belank screen so i was able to enter into admin area. i made a mistake in functions sheet it seems

now, i will try child theme. first i wanted to learn from scrathc. how do i do it though? i mean i create a subfolder under an existing theme,to create a child theme?

and if i do child themes this getting locked out probelm wouldnt happen?
