 * My website WP 2.7.1 mistylook theme
    I worked on homepage for my web site (layout)
   I made changes in those files: index.php, header.php – theme folder formatting.
   php – wp-includes folder.
 * I copied those files (plus some additional files .css and.js) into folders and
   overwrite the old ones
    After that my website stopped working (admin page as 
   well), you can go to website but there is nothing, view source – nothing. I restored
   old files (yes I made a copy) and deleted additional files something changed 
   my website still doesn’t work but admin page is working and I can log in. One
   more thing I noticed later that I replaced (first time) formatting.php WP 2.7.1
   with formatting.php from WP 2.8.5 (but later I restore orginal one) Any ideas
   how to fix it and what is the problem?
 * Thanks in advance and I apologize for my English 🙂

 * Re-upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress
   2.7.1. If you still have problems, try switching to the default theme. If the
   problem then disappears, you have introduced an error in your theme.
 * I’d also recommend that you upgrade to 2.8.6 **asap**.
