 * Fixed thanks to STDestiny via themes and templates.
 * 1/went to the FTP site
    2/chose from the directory the offending error file, 
   3/backdated it by one day [using History] and 4/saved with a ‘1’ at the end. 
   5/went back to current files, renamed the error file with a ‘2’. 6/renamed the‘
   1’ file by deleting the ‘1’.
 * 7/ error disappeared, and site is back up and running.
