Updated Theme, Deleted old, Can't access Wp-admin now

  • https://www.myalliedpain.com

    before uploading my new theme upgrade, I didn’t remove the old, so I brought it in with a different name so that it wouldn’t overwrite it, I know this was the wrong way now.

    In any case, I now have the suffix -2 behind my new theme, but I can’t access the backend at all!

    I don’t know how to recover from this, I am sure it is a matter of a typo somewhere that needs to be corrected, but can’t figure out. please help this is urgent I need to make changes for today!

    thanks

    Mike

  • FTP into your site (or whatever file management application your host provides) & delete the wp-content/themes/theme-name-2 folder. Then update your old theme correctly.

    thanks but i have a feeling it is deeper than that … when I installed the new one, and switched to it in themes, I also hit the delete button for the two old themes … now the files are still in the ftp, but i don’t know what that delete function form the themes section of the wp backend did?

    any idea?

    I am trying your advisement now, but I did this earlier and I still couldn’t load my old theme so not sure if it will work?

    is there a way to tell it through a source file to switch back to the old theme?

    original was horizon now it is horizon-2 … when i put horizon in there, it seems to still load horizon-2 … when i remove horizon-2 from the themes folder, it just loads my basic posts with no css or theme structure:

    I have left it for you to see, how can i tell it to go back to the original horizon if i can’t access the backend themes section???

    it was a plugin folder issue, i have temporarily resolved, but is it possible for someone here that has better wordpress diagnostic tool/resources to run a diagnostic test to make sure things are setup correctly?

    thanks

    That’s really beyond the scope of the support that we are able to provide in the forum. Perhaps you need to consider hiring someone to carry out this work for you?
