Activated a new Wordpress theme, but the home page is blank? Worse still the admin page is blank? Uh-oh. I did this today on a live site- a stupid mistake.
Luckily, I figured out how to fix it quite quickly, so all is well.
You've uploaded your new/test theme to your Wordpress install and activated it. You visit the homepage and it's blank, so you visit /wp-admin/ but that's blank too.
Simply go back to your FTP client and delete or rename the folder with your new theme in.
Give it a few seconds and try and visit /wp-admin/ again and you'll see the dashboard again. If you go to the theme selector you'll see a message saying 'theme not found, reverting to default' or something similar.
Techy tidbits from a veteran of a ten-year war against CentOS and a twenty-eight-year war against Apple. Oh, and in a long entente cordiale with WordPress.
