?failed? Install = no access. What next?
SITUATION:
I've been upgrading my blog from the defaul theme. I installed the Atahualpa Theme, but when I went to themes/Atahualpa/configuration options [about 20 rectangular setup boxes] ALL of the individual choices merely relaunched the same setup menu: I couldn't actuallly make ANY configuration choices, so NONE of my sidebar information displays. Q: Did I make an installation error, or is that menu itself borked? HOW DO I FIX IT? Q: Before I could change back to the default theme, my browser crashed with Atahualpa installed, BUT NOT CONFIGURED, so the META section does not display and I can't log in to fix it. HOW DO I GET BACK IN TO RESET THE DEFAULT THEME UNTIL I CAN GET Atahualpa WORKING PROPERLY? Thanks! O --- ) \ |
Do you have FTP access? Probably yes because you uploaded the theme. Try changing the directory name of the atahualpa theme from /wp-content/themes/atahualpa3 (or... /atahualpa/) to something else, such as
/wp-content/themes/_atahualpa3. If you cannot change the directory name for some reason, delete the atahualpa directory. In both cases the default theme should be activated automatically. Just in case: All these change/delete actions are meant to be done on the web hosting account, not on your desktop computer. |

Thanks for replying!
I deleted the Atahualpa theme directory, but then my blog just showed a blank page, instead of reverting to the default theme. So I reinstalled it. The original problem seems to be an aborted installed as I deleted 80+ files, but the new install is 300+! So my blog comes up again, but still with NO sidebars, especially no META. With all those new files, the configuration file would probably work if I could get to it. O --- ) \ |
Is this your first time installing WordPress or have you successfully installed Wordpress before. I am just asking as you might be missing a step in the installation process?

This is my first install, but my ISP put the main files up for me. It's been running fine under the default theme. I think I just messed up the file transfer the first time, and now I can't log in to configure it properly.

Have you tried this link: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/
(Replace yoursite with your domain) You don't need a meta widget to log in. The login screen is always at .../wp-admin/ |
Dear Flynn:
Thank you so much for your patience! That was the info I needed! O --- ) \ |
