Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] Tried to change bfa_header_config.php now site down

I was trying to put an image in the header section of my site: umarketingu.com...through the editor.

I always make a copy of code in case I mess something up...and I still have that...BUT as soon as I updated, my site is completely down.

When I go into cpanel, there is not much left of the atahul 353 site....when entering URL I get the following error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/quickpen/public_html/umarketingu.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions/bfa_header_config.php on line 146

I can't even login to my blog, just get the error message....can you tell me how to get this back? As I said, I have the original code, but can't access the site to change it back.

I was using the editor: bfa_header_config.php/ What is ecode?

All the editing for the Atahualpa theme should, for the most part, be done in the theme options. If you edited your bfa_header_config.php file I would suggest the following.
  • Download a copy of the same version of the theme you installed
  • Unzip it
  • Replace your current bfa_header_config.php with the one from the downloaded copy
  • You should now be able to access your site.
  • Now look through the theme options for information on where to put header images, etc.

The files are all gone on cpanel...I cannot login to the site the normal way as the login screen won't come up? So, where do I upload the theme to? All the directories in cpanel are empty...?

You need to FTP to the site. If cpanel has an FTP section, you can use that. If you delete the Atahualpa folder from the 'wp-config/themes' folder, WordPress will default back to the Twenty-Ten theme (as long as you haven't deleted it). If you have FTP access you can also go into the Atahualpa folder and rename'index.php' to 'oldindex.php' and you should default back to twenty-ten.

Using the WordPress editor and making a change to one module of Atahualpa can not effect the other modules. If it did, I would get a new host.

('e code' was a mistyping of 'the code')

OK, here's what I did...uploaded theme version 3.53 to my server (the files were all empty from the other one)...changed index.php to oldindex.php...still get the same error message?

I have not deleted 20/10, it's still there on server...do I need to change index.php to oldindex.php on all the themes?

This site is 3 years worth of content..I really don't want to lose all of it...yes, I have a backup, but it won't upload either.

I am really getting frustrated with this.
