    On my pc I have xampp running, installed wordpress and have the default template which I am customizing. Everything was going swell, pages displaying correctly, publishing content from the wp admin panel, then all of a sudden I started getting 404 errors in my admin panel? The admin panel becomes inactive and any link I click on the interface (publish,edit post, etc.) sends me to an unstyled page from my site with a 404 error?

    Viewing my site locally the links work, the content is there, but no styles are present? Very confused? Any ideas?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    hey esmi,

    I didn’t have any plugins activated, not to mention I can’t get into my wordpress admin panel to activate or inactivate anything!?

    And the theme I have been face lifting is the default theme.

    Try downloading a fresh copy of WordPress and copying over the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. Edit your copy of wp-content/themes/default/style.css and change:

    Theme Name: WordPress Default
Theme URI: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/
Description: The default WordPress theme based on the famous <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/">Kubrick</a>.
Version: 1.6
Author: Michael Heilemann
Author URI: http://binarybonsai.com/
Tags: blue, custom header, fixed width, two columns, widgets

    to

    Theme Name: My Custom Theme
Description: Based on the famous <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/">Kubrick</a>.
Version: 1.0
Author: Your name

    Then rename your copy of the wp-content/themes/default folder to wp-content/themes/mytheme. Finally copy the default theme folder from the WordPress download to wp-content/themes/.

    Ok, I did as you suggested, now I have no 404 error or unstyled content. Just a message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in C:\xampp\htdocs\stillsealcoating\wp-includes\vars.php on line 16

    any ideas on this?
