 * try
    – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can 
   still cause problems.
 * – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-
   content/themes using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever
   file management application your host provides.

 * I renamed the folder… then the site pulled up blank… so then i went and reset
   the plugins… still blank… so then I went back and changed the theme folder back
   to the original name… and now I get this
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(USCES_PLUGIN_DIR/widgets/usces_blog_calendar.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dinos/public_html/PHOENIXSPORTSZONE.COM/wp-content/themes/welcart_default/functions.php on line 42

 * I just went in phpmyadmin and changed the “wp_options” under “theme” and “stylesheet”
   to something else.
 * I made this site for someone who isn’t very computer literate… seems he decided
   to go muck it up somehow.
