 * I believe I am using the most up-to-date version of wordpress.
 * So I wanted to remove the search bar in my header area on my website. So I tried
   to delete the search bar code in the header.php file. I most have deleted the
   wrong code because when I went to my site I had an error in the HTML file. I 
   try to go back to fix the error because I copied the code I deleted, but to no
   avail. I cannot even edit my site, nor can I get on it. I am using FushionTheme
   from ElegantThemes if that helps. I tried to reset the header.php file but I 
   do not know how, nor do I know how to delete to hopefully have wordpress generate
   a new one. Right now, I cannot get onto my site, [TheLoneTree](http://www.thelonetree.org).
   Please, if you have any idea at all how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated
   if you could share it with me. Thanks again.

 * Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the theme’s folder to wp-content/themes 
   using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.

 * You need to use FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
   The wp-content folder can be found inside the folder that you originally installed
   WordPress into. The themes folder will be inside the wp-content folder.
