Voodoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvoodoo/) * (@rvoodoo) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-desperation/#post-2019352) * Honestly what I do, is download the wordpress to my desk, delete wp-content folder, and wp-config or wp-config sample from the fresh download folder, then rezip it * I then delete the files off my server, except for wp-content folder and wp-config. php file (which I back up before I start any of this, just in case) * Then I upload my custom zip folder (with the removed file and folder) to my server * I unzip the folder on the server And place the files * HOWEVER- if you now have admin access, you can go to upgrade section and do a 1 click upgrade to the same version to reinstall, which often works for me when I break something * Thread Starter [foxtale1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foxtale1/) * (@foxtale1) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-desperation/#post-2019355) * Awesome, thanks so much! * [marklkennedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklkennedy/) * (@marklkennedy) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-desperation/#post-2019508) * Hello, * I too, messed something up by trying to make a change to my menu as per below. * I am using the Mystique theme. * I already added one link in my top navigation bar, but when I added another, I can’t get into my site (www.healthynomics.com) – I just get a white page. * Also, when I go to my WP login screen, it redirects me to this: * [http://www.healthynomics.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthynomics.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php&reauth=1](http://www.healthynomics.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthynomics.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php&reauth=1) * How can I fix this? * Many thanks. _______________________________________________________ * 4. To put a link in the top navigation bar, add following code to, Under Appearance- > Mystique settings -> Advanced > User functions. * function mymenu(){ echo ‘ - [Menu Title - ‘; } - add_action(‘mystique_navigation’, ‘mymenu’); It is useful when you want to put a external link in navigation bar. Change “Link to your Menu” by your link and “Menu Title” by your title.
