 * When I try to activate a theme at [http://celebchanges.com](http://celebchanges.com)
   it just throws an error and then I can’t get back to my admin area at all.

 * What is the specific error that you are seeing?
 * Could you try removing the theme and then installing it again?

 * I tried that already but it gives me the same error. I went into my cpanel and
   deleted it.

 * Do other themes from WordPress.ORG work? If so, you need to ask the SimplePress
   developers for help – [http://simple-press.com/support-forum/](http://simple-press.com/support-forum/)–
   as commercial themes aren’t supported on these forums.
