In reply to: I cannot access my site any moreDue to the differences between the free hosted blogs offered at wordpress.com and the self-hosted and self-installed version of WordPress supported here, you should probably ask WordPress.com Support instead.

In reply to: frustrations with child functions fileYes, it starts at the very beginning, then works up from there. A very good course.
I use Bulletproof Pro for my sites, never been hacked since install. There is a free version also although it isn’t overpriced.

In reply to: Delete PluginI understand, You will need to access your site either by FTP or through the file manager from your host. This is how you access the actual files on your site. You can even do it from your browser.
FTP means FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOLContact your host, the easiest method. Then locate the offending plugin file and delete it’s folder. Once there you need to look for the following folder, then look for your plugin.
/wp-content/plugins/

In reply to: Delete PluginYou can ftp to your site, rename that plugin by adding .bak to the plugin folder name, that will disable the plugin.
You will find the plugins folder here:

In reply to: frustrations with child functions fileI cannot believe that I am the only person interested to learn this without having to take an advanced course in PHP.
Maybe it’s time, this site has a free and easy to understand step by step course on php. Work at your own pace but it will help with understanding how to use php.

In reply to: When to change Parent or ChildYou use your child theme for special functions and/or styles you want to have on your site. Other files can be added to the child theme as the need arises. But those files in the child theme stay static when the parent theme and WP core files are updated.

In reply to: Made a child theme using Twenty Eleven & Fatal Error?!Review the links I gave you. It pretty much covers what you need to know regarding child-themes and FTP and more.
This will require some reading, You will also need to get info from your host regarding your IP address etc. Take a look here:

In reply to: Made a child theme using Twenty Eleven & Fatal Error?!The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: Need help with my new themeIf you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.
