Thank you for your quick reply. When I try to open my site stubbsworld.net I get the following:your server is running 5.6.40 WordPress requires 7.0.0. I’m locked out
The error message is clear: WordPress does not have the version of PHP it needs to run.
PHP is server software installed by your hosting provider. It’s not something provided by WordPress.
Most hosting control panels have a setting to switch the PHP version. If you don’t have any such feature in your hosting control panel, reach out to your hosting provider for help to have your PHP version upgraded for you.
Good luck!

@stubbs: It seems you’ve gone past the error message you posted already, but I can see your site still has issues.
The error was from your active theme, “Flexx Professional”. You’ve removed (or perhaps renamed) the broken theme, which is the right thing to do to get past the error and access your dashboard.
But you’re still using a child theme of this now non-existing Flexx Professional theme, which is why your site’s design is still broken.
I can’t find this “Flexx Professional” theme in the official WordPress themes directory, which only lists free themes. Online searches show this used to be a commercial theme sold by iThemes, but iThemes quit the themes business a long time ago.
Your best bet then is to migrate to a new theme.
Good luck!
