# Amended function.php and now cannot access WP-Admin

 * Hello,
 * I tried adding a piece of additional code to function.php – from [http://pinakibisi.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/woo-commrece-remove-tab-from-product-page/](http://pinakibisi.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/woo-commrece-remove-tab-from-product-page/).
 * The code didnt deliver the results I was anticipating, so I subsequently deleted
   it.
 * I cannot now access WP-admin, I just get a blank white screen. A Little searching
   online shows that I have most likely corrupted function.php somehow, but most
   recommendations are to use FTP to fix.
 * I’ve installed FileZilla, but it wont connect. Do I have to have enabled FTP 
   on the WP-admin settings first, before I can FTP to the server?
 * Is there any other way to fix this access issue to WP-admin?
 * Please help!!!
 * Thanks

 * It has to connect, unless you don’t have proper credentials.
    Have you discussed
   this with your hosting provider?
 * > Do I have to have enabled FTP on the WP-admin settings first,
 * FTP client is independent of the WP-admin

 * Thanks Tara. 🙂
 * I enabled FTP via my hosting company and followed instructions to configure it.
 * I’ve removed the errant bit of code and reloaded the theme and I’m back in again!
   Yay!
