 * What happens when you use one of the default themes?

 * I don’t know, I can’t get in to make any changes. My service provider said they
   could disable the theme from their end, but I had an additional question that
   they haven’t responded to yet. I thought to upgrade my Word Press and then upgrade
   the theme, but I got a strange message about my domain not being set up with 
   my host. Which is strange because I’ve used them (and my WP blog) for years, 
   so I’m a bit confused and not sure how to proceed.

 * Can you access your files by FTP? If not then your host may be involved in some
   way.

 * I don’t know how to do that and when I tried to look it up I found – You can’t
   upload anything by FTP and you cannot access meta data on any free hosted WordPress.
   com blog. There is no FTP access.

 * Who is your host? WordPress.com is not the same as self-hosted WordPress sites.

 * First, thanks so much for trying to help me with this. My host is Fat Cow they
   say they are a partner with Word Press.

 * You should be able to connect to your WordPress site using FTP. A good FTP program
   is Filezilla. Be careful where you download it from though.

 * Edit functions.php and see if the first few lines look like this
 *     ```
       <?php
       $bfa_ata_version = "3.7.19";
   
       // Load translation file above
       load_theme_textdomain('atahualpa');
   
       // get default theme options
       ```
   
 * if not, you were probably hacked and need to fix it.
