I installed a theme for my wordpress site and now I can’t access it

It’s possible that the issue is caused by the new theme. For an immediate solution, you can rename the theme folder to disable it. Access your site via FTP or File Manager in cPanel, go to wp-content/themes, and rename the theme folder (e.g., theme-name_old). This will force WordPress to revert to the default theme and restore access to your site.

If you want to find the root cause of the problem, enable WordPress debugging first. Add the following lines to your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

This will display any errors directly on the site, helping you identify whether the issue is specifically related to the new theme.

I did what you said but there was no change in one problem. What should I do?
Also, when I change the name of the Astra theme from the wp-content/themes section, I get the message that the “astra” theme folder cannot be found.

Hi @yavrupencesi,

You’re seeing a white screen, but you can still access the login page. Log in to the dashboard and switch your theme to a default one, like Twenty Twenty-Five, or install it if it’s not already.

See if that works.
