 * Hi I have a working prototype site but when I try to migrate the theme to the
   main site it causes fatal errors
 * how can I set 2012 as default theme without access to the themes page or plug
   in page in my dashboard?

 * Use your ftp client to rename or remove the theme that caused the crash, then
   navigate to yoursite.com/wp-admin and log in. Once you log in, the default theme
   should take over.
