# Website Admin Error

 * I would really appreciate some help with website [http://www.glyniswozniak.co.uk](http://www.glyniswozniak.co.uk).
 * Today, I spend a great deal of time updating my website and, because I didn’t
   like its blue heading, tried on a new appearance called Quickpic.
 * However, immediately afterwards, I could not edit any pages and when I click 
   on the page in edit mode, they come up blank.
 * I tried opening the website with IE instead and when I log in to my admin, an
   error message comes up saying this page can’t be found.
 * Can someone please help me as the text is out of sequence now and the whole site
   looks ridiculous.
 * Whilst on this note, downloads of themes do not go to my theme folder going, 
   instead, to my desktop download folder making them unusuable. Can anyone suggest
   a way round this so I can get a better overall appearance?
 * Many thanks, Glynis

 * Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application
   your host provides.

 * How, exactly, are you downloading themes?

 * Thank you for your suggestion, but pages in admin mode are simply coming up blank
   so I can’t do anything.
 * I am downloading themes simply by clicking on downloads. The theme page says 
   it will save in your theme folder, but it’s not.

 * Please re-read my post above. The suggestion I made does not require you to login
   to your WordPress dashboard.

 * Where? In your site? or On [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)

 * Hi again,
 * Yes, I was downloading themes on [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
   but they just go straight on to my PC download file.
 * I attempted to save the them as -old as suggested by clicking on ‘Themes’ on 
   my Home page and then clicking on My Themes, but that page is also blank and 
   I will not let me copy text into it. Any ideas? Thanks.

 * That’s what should happen, You then unpack the archive, extract the theme’s folder
   and upload it to wp-content/themes using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides.
 * Alternatively, you can browse and install themes via the Appearance -> Themes
   page of your admin area. That’s the only way that new themes will be downloaded
   directly to your site.
