 * Hello-
    I could use your assistance. I was looking around to where I should insert
   my html code for adding a google font. I was in the Editor > functions.php. I
   did not enter anything and clicked out of it. Now, I cannot access my admin site
   at all and the webpage is blank. If you could help me, I would be very grateful.
   I hope I have not lost all of my work!
 * My site is [http://www.verbankfarms.com](http://www.verbankfarms.com)
 * Thanks:)

 * Probably the simplest thing to try is to use cPanel > File Manager to temporarily
   rename the folder for whatever theme you were editing (unless it was Twenty Fifteen)
   in order to deactivate it and then WordPress should fall back to Twenty Fifteen.

 * Thank you! I just re-placed the php with the original in File Manager and it 
   worked!
