• Hi,

    I tried to install a plug-in. Don’t know what I did wrong but I get the following error and my site is DOWN:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/.senneca/mizchulita/bloggrrl.com/index.php on line 1

    I just want to restore what I originally had up but, no luck.

    Thanks
    Greg

  • just remove the files for installed plugin from the plugins directory – i.e.manually move them out of the plugin directory then try site

    That’s the problem:-) When I went to install plug-in for snap.com, I put in their url address and screwed my site up completely, I got errors like I’ve never seen before and the pulug-in is not showing up in my plug-in list as it never was plugged in, I just unplugged my site by accident.

    The login page on your site seems to work:

    https://bloggrrl.com/wp-login.php

    Try the easy thing first. If it’s a plugin gone bad somehow the login, head to https://bloggrrl.com/wp-admin/plugins.php and click on “Deactivate All Plugins”

    See if that helps.

    Deactivated all plug ins and the error on the site loading online is as follows:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/.senneca/mizchulita/bloggrrl.com/index.php on line 1

    I think I did something to my template but, all looks correct on the back end. G-

    Well, if you somehow borked the WordPress files, you can backup your whole WordPress directory and then install a copy from www.ads-software.com in it’s place.

    As long as you limit yourself to the files and you make backups (and know how to restore them) this will either fix it or do nothing.

    I think I borked it (agree). Have no clue how to do any of what you’ve stated as I’m not tech savvy. Are their peeps on this forum who I can pay to in and do the fix properly? I think if I tried anything else, all would be lost:-(

    Last thing to try before I flee the room…

    You mentioned that “all looks correct on the back end” can you login and switch your theme to the default? This is via the https://bloggrrl.com/wp-admin/themes.php URL.

    If that works then it’s probably your theme and in the meanwhile you’ll be up and running at least partially.

    If that doesn’t work then you’ll need someone to dive in and help…

    yes, I tried that as well but, the theme I pick turns our being a white screen on the back end – no matter what theme I pick.

    your front page should NOT be spitting out that error.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/.senneca/mizchulita/bloggrrl.com/index.php on line 1

    you have edited the index.php that lives in the root folder of your install.

    the ONLY thing that should be in the file is this:

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    require('./wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    either copy and paste that into the file after removing what you you put into it, or upload a fresh index.php out of a fresh wordpress zip file.

    for future reference.. if you dont know what you are doing, its best not to do it, or to do some reading first. Additionally, its useful to take a cpl notes as you do so you can accurately undo what you have done.
