Try to FTP to your site and remove the changes you did on the functions.php and config.php.
I did. I changed in child theme. Also checked wp- config and functions in regular theme and there is nothing in there. All has been removed. still nothing
I deleted browser history and also tried from different browserIm not sure what else to do
Let’s try to change the current theme to a working one.
Here are the steps:
– ftp to your site
– rename the folder of your current theme to something else
– rename the folder of the working theme to your current theme
– try to loginFor example, if your current theme is themeX and the working theme is themeY, rename themeX to themeZ and rename themeY to themeX. Hope this works for you.
Oh lord, this is out of my league but I thank you for helping and I will try anything
But…What do you mean current and working themes??
I have Cerauno theme but child theme is active
Which folders am I remainingrename the child theme(themeX) to something else(themeZ) and find a theme(themeY) that is working to the name of the child theme(themeX).
Did not work
Site comes up but with no template (same as before) and I still cannot login into seasidebeachhomedecor.com/wp-admin. I get page that says Example Domain
You might want to get a clean Cerauno child theme and use it as themeY I mentioned above.
should i change those folders back??
how do i do that if I cant log into admin
Sure. You should change them back to the previous state if the solution does not work for you.
Im not understanding why I cannot log into admin and getting Example Domain page. Even if the Child Theme is defuncked, why cant I log in
Using FTP like chienyi told you. Your host provider should have given you FTP login and password to modify your website files at will. It’s another way to access your site backdoor if things are broken with dashboard.
More info on using FTP here:
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_FileZilla
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/FTP_ClientsThen download themes on your computer, and upload or change them (name of folders) remotely on your website over there:
yoursite.com/wp-content/themes > list of themes
Filezilla is a free ftp client, you can use on Windows, Mac, Linux for example. Just follow instructions of Chienyi, once you are connected and see the list of directories / files under wp-content/themes folder.
Hope it helps, basically FTP is the explorer/file listing of your website that allows you to change folders, files, erase them at will.
I have Filezilla thats what Im using.
I already changed folder names as stated above and did not work. My site has no template layout and I cannot log into admin… For some reason my site is redirecting me to Example Domain page when I try to log in
Okay,
Try this please:
Go to the root of website/WP and delete .htaccess file.
I stay a little around to see the outcome. But looks like you have a DNS or server/hosting issue.
