I changed a theme file now can't log in as admin. HELP??
-
Please I am throwing myself on your mercy here. I love this theme!
I got my site done and it’s beautiful and perfect then I went to move it and followed these directions from www.ads-software.com when it was moved but the links had not changed. The links changed great but now I cannot login as an admin and my users can’t log in either. ??

Edit functions.phpIf you have access to the site via FTP, then this method will help you quickly get a site back up and running, if you changed those values incorrectly.
1. FTP to the site, and get a copy of the active theme’s functions.php file. You’re going to edit it in a simple text editor (like notepad) and upload it back to the site.
2. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.
update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://example.com’);
update_option(‘home’,’https://example.com’);Use your own URL instead of example.com, obviously.
3. Upload the file back to your site, in the same location. FileZilla offers a handy “edit file” function to do all of the above rapidly; if you can use that, do so.
4. Load the login or admin page a couple of times. The site should come back up.
5. Repeat the above steps, but remove those lines. IMPORTANT: Do NOT leave those lines in there. Remove them immediately after the site is up and running again.

I’m really sorry I goofed up your theme and I won’t do it again.. but any idea what I did? and how I can fix it? All I did was add 2 lines of code them take them out and now no login for me…I have been comparing the backup files to the “new” files and cannot find any difference.
