    Try:

    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Well, something happened, but not what I was hoping for.

    I went into the ftp manager and added “-old” to the name of my current theme’s folder. However my blog doesn’t show any change in the theme. Was it supposed to switch to twentyten or something?

    I then followed the instructions to reset the plugins folder by FTP and instead of the error described in my first post, I now get this one:
    W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/content/26/7201926/html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.

    SO…I renamed the advanced cache file the error is referring to with the “-old” suffix and now I get the same error as described in the first post.

    Any thoughts?

    Not sure if this is related, but I noticed a sharp decline in traffic to my site a few days ago (90% drop). I suspect it is due to this same error and my site being offline. The funny thing is, I hadn’t been logged on for several days prior, so whatever change was made was made about three days after I had last been online.

    Could this mean that something malicious happened?
