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!

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.

Or if you're just looking for the "Site Admin" link, go to

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/

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.

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!
