 * Hi, I attempted to add a code to my php functions and it didn’t work and caused
   my page not to load at all. I went back to the editor and deleted the code I 
   added (and nothing else) and my site still won’t load. Neither will my WordPress
   dashboard. Can someone help me? My entire site is down. Please and thank you.
 * My website is [http://inthenewhouse.com](http://inthenewhouse.com)

 * never, never, never edit code from appearance -> editor. now you know why.
 * Do you have a backup of the file from before you edited it? If so, use FTP to
   replace it.

 * I have the files from when I downloaded my theme but I don’t know how to replace
   things. And I can’t even get into my dashboard to change it.
 *  I found a tutorial for how to add the code I used on this support site and the
   user said it worked for them. But it did not for me. How can I fix it if I can’t
   get into my dashboard?

 * Use FTP to replace the theme folder with an unedited copy.
 * See [Filezilla](http://filezilla-project.org/) and [FTP Clients « WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients).
   Or use your web host’s file manager in your control panel.

 * Ok, so things got worse. I went through my cPanel to do the FTP and was having
   trouble so I chatted with Bluehost helpdesk to help me fix the problem and get
   me to the FTP upload. Well, they deleted all my plugins, my entire woocommerce
   store, and theme. Then they tried to do a backup and it wouldn’t work. Is there
   any hope for me?

 * My theme vendor fixed. Thanks to you both for the FTP info.
