    why not try a fresh install from the scratch? ( assuming that you've backup in case it was an active site )

    Did you try to edit the index.php file at all?

    I had a similar error when I tried to edit mine and had to get my hosting company to let me back in to the wp-admin area

    Moral of the story....don't play with code unless you know what you are doing :rolleyes:

    Using an FTP program go to:
    wp-content/themes/your_theme/functions.php

    and delete the functions.php file

    see if you can login

  • If you ask on the WP forum they will get an answer for you quick. You probably just didn't have a complete install. Try again.

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend doing a fresh install of WordPress. There is absolutely no need for that.

    Login into your cpanel or do it via ftp and delete the theme files. Your website will then automaticaly revert back to the default theme.

    Then try re-installing the theme again.

    This happened to one of our clients before. You need to check the .htaccess file. There's a script there that's redirecting you to a blank/non-existing page. Deleting this functions.php won't do any good. Sometimes, it does not even exist.

      After sending more than 30 emails to the vendors with no single response and many returning as undelivered, i have decided to go on with my business.


      It seems that vendor of the theme is bankrupt, if you type "Lazy 10K Adsense/Amazon/eBay/Google +1 Premium Theme" into Google and you will see so many other sites that uses these themes affected too.


      Now i want to change to another theme, this time a free theme, i do not want any paid theme again since most of them, their support is horrible once they get your money they are no longer there to give support.


      I want to know whether a new theme will affect about 100 articles i have posted on the website so far


      and how do i go about putting a NEW THEME and can someone recommend a good free adsense theme



      Thanks
