Try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
in the file manager go to:
wp-content->themes-> your theme
If you delete the folder for the broken theme, your site will revert to 2011
And I would recommend you not use any themes from the site you downloaded that one from. Only shady theme shops allow that practice.
esmi and Rev.voodoo, thank you for your reply, i started with changing the name of the current theme file into default”-old”
and still not working
i have access to file manager and i followed ur instructions but still i can’t open admin area or the site.
Re-upload a fresh copy of Twenty Eleven to your wp-content/themes folder using FTP:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/themes/twentyeleven
I re-uploaded twentyeleven theme and deleted the broken one but still not working, the question is “after uploading the new theme what else i have to do to copy those files into it? i already have a mysqlbackup
please if you can give me more information on this or if there is an article on how to do it i appreciate it.
i am not an expert with ftp files, i only know how to work from wordpress admin but its closed
Are you sure that you deleted the correct “broken” theme? What version of WordPress are you running?
how can i restart the whole thing? i have a backup of my files but i guess i have to save them and delete all themes, is it possible or i am going to lose them?
Delete all folders in wp-content/themes except the twentyeleven folder.
Esmi, thank you again, I have done all this with the help of my free host, i have twentyeleven activated and i lost all files. i was told to delete the broken law theme and all wp files, we uploaded new wp and i had a mysql backup, i tried to upload mysql file from my desk top but i got this message “#1007 – Can’t create database ‘stehor6_ei’; database exists “
i was just told by my free host that they don’t keep or backup files but i know i did make a backup and they told my delete them and upload the one i downloaded to my desktop but i got the #1007 message above.
what else i can do?
i was told to delete the broken law theme and all wp files
No – it was suggested that you delete all folders in wp-content/themes except the twentyeleven folder. Nobody said anything about deleting all WordPress files.
i tried to upload mysql file from my desk to
Why? As far as we know, there is nothing wrong with your database.
i was advised by my stupid free host customer service people!
now its too late they will not help so i am changing this host to another one and i hope i can build this site again.
thank you for trying to help
its not worth it to chose a free hosting for someone has no knowledge of ftp and database, i have my other sites with a good host where they usually help.
