 * When I updated my Hatch theme with automatic update, it turned my website into
   a blank page and also rendered my dashboard useless. Help! [http://www.janpeterknechtdesigns.com](http://www.janpeterknechtdesigns.com)

 * Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application
   your host provides.

 * When I updated to the new version my website goes away and this message pops 
   up Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_theme() in /home/content/12/
   9060412/html/wp-content/themes/hatch/library/functions/utility.php on line 119
 * Right now I don’t have a website. How can this be fixed?

 * Your current version of WordPress does not appear to support this themes. Try:
   –
   switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder 
   inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application
   your host provides.
 * – [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 FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * That should get you back into your site. Then upgrade WordPress asap.
