 * Hello, I have installed a new theme and I cannot access wp-admin. It gives me
   the error message
    _ Not Found
 * The requested URL /login/ was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * I tried to deactivate the theme from filezilla and I was able to access the admin
   page again.
 * The WordPress support says
 * _“to find out what caused problem in the theme, upload and run this code when
   the theme is active:
    <? ini\_set(‘display\_errors’,’1′); ini\_set(‘display\_startup\
   _errors’,’1′); error\_reporting (E\_ALL);include(‘index.php’); ?>”
 * I do not know where I have to upload the above code and how to run it…
 * Thanks to anyone who wants advice…
 * Sergio

 * How were you installing the theme? Did you manage to activate it?
 * It’s possible the theme didn’t install correctly.
 * I’m not sure you got the above code, but an easier way is to set `wp_debug` to“
   true”:
