You need to actually read the information in the link I gave you. * Thread Starter [tsblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsblogger/) * (@tsblogger) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105653) * I have read it through many times. It is saying a 503 error when i try and log in to ftp. and obviously i cannot get to the dashboard or setting. Is there a way i can fix it without accessing ftp or do you know what that error means? * [paulmcgarry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmcgarry/) * (@paulmcgarry) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105656) * Hi, I am having the same issue. I loaded the voidy theme, changed some colors but that was it. When I am logged in as admin the theme shows up. When I log out, it goes to crap and looks like a bad word document. * Any thoughts? Could it be my plugins? I am new to all of this. * the site [http://paulemcgarry.com](http://paulemcgarry.com) * thanks! * Thread Starter [tsblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsblogger/) * (@tsblogger) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105661) * that site is exactly what mine is doing [http://www.viewedblog.com](http://www.viewedblog.com) that article above explains what to do. However, if you have limited knowledge like me then it is useless. You do not recieve much help here either. Look it up on google and you need acces to your ftp. * [paulmcgarry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmcgarry/) * (@paulmcgarry) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105726) * [@tsblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsblogger/), do you have a recommendation for a google link? I can access my wordpress admin but just can’t seem to get the theme to work once I log out. Can’t seem to find anything on this. * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105729) * [@paulmcgarry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmcgarry/) your site has a problem with the w3tc plugin – possibly the ‘minify’ settings. * related forum threads: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-recent-update?replies=23](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-recent-update?replies=23) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-code-showing-up-on-my-wordpress-site?replies=19](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-code-showing-up-on-my-wordpress-site?replies=19) * you might need to search the full list: [http://wordpress.org/tags/w3-total-cache](http://wordpress.org/tags/w3-total-cache) * [paulmcgarry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulmcgarry/) * (@paulmcgarry) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105734) * THanks [@alchymyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/).

You changed your urls in the dashboard without understanding how to do it correctly. Although the symptoms are similar, the causes are different. * -There is more than one solution to fixing the issue on the page I sent you to. Not all involve ftp. * -If you are having trouble accessing your ftp account, that’s an issue for your host, not WordPress. An ftp 503 response code means the following: “Bad sequence of commands” * Sign into the control panel provided to you by your host. Locate the program used to setup and maintain databases – it’s probably named phpMyAdmin. Follow these directions: [Changing the URL directly in the database ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database) * You should contact support at your host to fix your ftp access issues, if they continue. If you don’t have phpMyAdmin in your hosts control panel, you will need to use whatever database management tool they provide to accomplish the same thing. * Good luck! * Thread Starter [tsblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsblogger/) * (@tsblogger) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105794) * Clayton James, sorry about the post saying you do not get anyhelp here. It is far from the truth, I just had to learn how to use the information. I appreciate you sticking at it and the last post helped me to understand how to operate my site a lot more effectively. Just annoyed when you change one thing and all the effort disappear lol. All fixed now. Cheers. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-theme-3/#post-2105795) * No worries here… I understand exactly how you feel! Glad you got things back in order. When (if) you decide to move your blog, there is some very helpful information in this article. [Moving WordPress ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress) As long as you don’t skip any steps, it’s usually a pretty straight forward task. Don’t forget to make backups of databases and files before any major changes. Good luck to you!
