 * Hi there
 * Please see my site below:
    [http://www.blink182guitarlessons.com](http://www.blink182guitarlessons.com)
 * I think I either accidentally changed or deleted a file using FTP and I am now
   shown the above message at my site. I cannot login or do ANYTHING else.
 * I completely uninstalled word press from my site and removed ALL files from my
   folders using FTP. However when I reinstall WordPress and install then activate
   a new theme I always get the message shown at the link above.
 * I check my folders for the file functions.php and it is present in the directory
   listed in the error. The message points to “line 3” which I believe is:
 * “load_theme_textdomain(‘eStore’,get_template_directory().’/lang’);”
 * Is this the part which is not working? And if so, how can I fix this??
 * Thanks
    Rich

 * hey, thanks for the reply
 * I cannot access the admin part of wordpress due to the error message.
    I have
   reinstalled wordpress as fresh and installed the theme again, however the error
   message still remains.
 * Any ideas?
