    I’m new to codes and blogging. I simply wanted to get an extra sidebar. I went into functions.php and made a little change and now my blog is blank. Can’t even log in. Please tell me I will see everything in my blog again. ??

    Here is the code I made changes to:
    /**
    * Register our sidebars and widgetized areas.
    *
    * uses register_sidebar
    * returns the id
    */
    if ( function_exists( ‘register_sidebar’ ) ) {
    register_sidebar ( ( array(
    ‘name’ => __( ‘sidebar’, ‘simplecatch’ ),
    ‘id’ => ‘sidebar’,
    ‘description’ => __( ‘sidebar’, ‘simplecatch’ ),
    ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget”>’,
    ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3><hr/>’
    ) );
    }
    ?>

    I’m using the simplecatch theme. ??

    OMG I finally did it! I was uploading the wrong functions.php!

    My blog is back. ??

    THANKS so much guys for your responses. I just learned so much about codes, ftps, and filezilla. I’ll never ever ever touch functions.php again. ??

    I don’t even want an extra sidebar anymore.

    marking as topic resolved… THANKS again!!

    Cool beans, and now please make a Child Theme. You can run your regular theme while changing anything you wish in the Child Theme, and then it only takes a few completely-safe seconds in “Live Preview” mode to see whether you get a white screen or something really great.
